Gadzhi
Rabadanov will look to return to the win column when he faces
Aleksandr
Chizov in the
PFL Sioux Falls co-main event.

The
PFL announced the lightweight bout on Tuesday. PFL Sioux Falls
takes place at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota
and is headlined by a welterweight scrap pitting Logan Storely
against Florim
Zendeli.

When PFL still utilized a season format, Rabadanov captured the
155-pound title in 2024. That was part of a 12-fight winning streak
that extended into PFL’s 2025 lightweight tournament. The
Dagestani’s run ended in the finals of the bracket, where he
dropped a five-round verdict against Alfie Davis
this past August. Radadanov’s ledger includes victories over the
likes of Kevin Lee,
Marc
Diakiese, Brent
Primus and Steven
Siler, among others.

Chizov, meanwhile, is coming off a PFL Europe championship in 2025,
as he bested Mark Ewen,
Claudio
Pacella and Connor
Hughes to capture the lightweight crown. The 28-year-old
Latvian owns a 13-3 career mark, with 11 of those triumphs coming
inside the distance.
