\nProfessional Fighters League<\/a> will next be stopping off in South

The organization completed its lineup of 12 matches for its
\n
\nPFL Sioux Falls<\/a> offering on May 2. The fights are scheduled to
\ntake place inside of the Sanford Pentagon in South Dakota\u2019s most
\npopulous city of Sioux Falls\u2014it is not, however, its capital, as
\nthat honor falls to Pierre. Capping off the jaunt to the home state
\nof Mount Rushmore will be a local staple against a PFL Europe
\nchamp, as Logan
\nStorley<\/a> (18-4) looks to defend home turf against Albania\u2019s
\nFlorim
\nZendeli<\/a> (9-1-1).<\/p>\n

Interim Bellator MMA<\/a> welterweight titlist Storley was absorbed
\ninto the PFL following the merger, joining its roster in 2024.
\nAfter getting knocked out by the first time in his career at the
\nhands of Shamil
\nMusaev<\/a>, Storley turned things around to enter the final
\nwelterweight bracket of the main tourney. While he reached the
\nfinals, Thad Jean<\/a>
\nturned him away on the scorecards.<\/p>\n

It has been well over four years since Zendeli last tasted defeat.
\nCompeting for his entire career in his home continent of Europe
\nsave for his last outing in the United Arab Emirates, it will be
\nthe Albanian\u2019s first fight on U.S. soil as a pro. Zendeli made a
\nsplash in 2024 when he ran through the PFL Europe bracket at 170
\npounds, throttling Daniele
\nMiceli<\/a> and Tomasz
\nLangowski<\/a>\u2014along with a decision over Jack Grant<\/a>\u2014to
\nsecure the $100,000 check and a chance for greener pastures.<\/p>\n

While the majority of the billing was already on the books ahead of
\nthis announcement, the PFL did confirm or first reveal a pair of
\ntilts on the undercard. Capping off the prelims will be a light
\nheavyweight battle as undefeated Bahrainian Rasul
\nMagomedov<\/a> (8-0) throws down with Rafael
\nXavier<\/a> (14-8). Additionally, the event will open with the
\nheavyweights, as Maxwell
\nDjantou Nana<\/a> (7-2) steps out of the PFL Africa circuit to
\ncollide with struggling Virgin Islands native Karl
\nWilliams<\/a> (10-5).<\/p>\n
