Logan Storley, the former welterweight contender who built his name across Bellator and the PFL, has been detained in the United States on suspicion of sexual assault, according to reports published May 19, 2026. No details surrounding the alleged incident have been disclosed at this time.
Storley, 32, carries an 18-4 professional record and competes out of the United States. Standing five-foot-nine with a 71-inch reach, he established himself as one of the more dangerous grapplers at 170 pounds, averaging an exceptional 8.75 takedowns per 15 minutes across his career. His striking accuracy of 75.37 percent further underscores a technically disciplined fighter, even if his output of 1.27 significant strikes per minute reflects a grappling-first approach. Among the notable blemishes on his record is a defeat to unbeaten Russian contender Shamil Musaev.
Musaev, nicknamed "The Silent Assassin," holds a 20-0-1 record and at 31 years old remains one of the most formidable unbeaten welterweights in the sport. The Russian fighter stands five-foot-ten with a 72-inch reach and has posted a striking accuracy of 67.71 percent during his career.
Why it matters
- Storley was considered a legitimate welterweight contender across major promotions outside the UFC, making this a significant legal development for the division
- The charges, if pursued, would likely sideline him from competition indefinitely
- No official statement from Storley's team or any promotional body has been issued as of the reporting date
