Professional Fighters League’s jaunt to South Dakota may not be
local, but they are highly ranked.
On May 2, the organization will take to a former Bellator MMA stomping ground of the Sanford Pentagon
in Sioux Falls. The man on the marquee representing the area will
be Logan
Storley in a welterweight pairing against Florim
Zendeli. On Thursday, the promotion dropped
two new bouts for this billing, with three of the participants
among the PFL’s top 10 in their respective division.
The first of the two fights set for the
PFL Sioux Falls main card is a heavyweight banger as Renan
Ferreira (13-5, 3 NC) takes on Sergey
Bilostenniy (14-4). It has been a rough couple years for
“Problema,” as he claimed the PFL Super Fight heavyweight belt
against Ryan Bader
and everything looked up. When he was thrust into a matchup against
Francis
Ngannou, it all went wrong, as Ngannou punched him out in just
over three minutes. The return effort in December—over a year after
the Ngannou fight—was also unsuccessful, as Vadim
Nemkov claimed the organization’s newly established heavyweight
throne by manhandling the 6-foot-8 Brazilian and tapping him in
four minutes.
While Bilostenniy has not lost as frequently as of late, his
strength of schedule has not been entirely championship level—other
than his fight with ex-Bellator beltholder Valentin
Moldavsky, where he lost. He bookends that decision defeat with
a speedy heel hook of PFL castout Tyrell
Fortune in 2024 and a knockout of Karl
Williams in August 2025.
The other scrap booked is one at bantamweight as Magomed
Magomedov (21-5) comes to blows with Leandro
Higo (23-7). Since establishing himself as one to watch in the
Bellator ranks in 2021 with a submission of C.J.
Hamilton, the Russian’s fortunes have wavered significantly.
“Tiger” has alternated wins and losses since that Hamilton victory,
a span of eight matches that includes two losses to Patrick
Mix. Brazil’s Higo saw his PFL debut come to a frustrating
conclusion when he lost a split verdict to eventual tourney champ
Marcirley
Alves.
