Storley vs. Zendeli Headlines Pfl Sioux Falls at Sanford Pentagon
pfl Sioux Falls arrived at Sanford Pentagon with Logan Storley headlining in his home state against Florim Zendeli. Storley came in at 18-4 after a 2025 tournament final loss to Thad Jean that snapped a three-fight win streak. Zendeli brought a 9-1-1 mark and unbeaten PFL run into the bout.
Storley and Zendeli at Sanford Pentagon
Saturday night’s main event carried two clean storylines into the cage. Storley, the former interim Bellator welterweight champion, was trying to reset after the loss to Jean. Zendeli had won his first four fights for the league and added a 2024 PFL Europe tournament title with a first-round submission of Daniele Miceli.
The matchup gave the card a clear center of gravity: a home-state veteran with a recent setback against an unbeaten PFL fighter who had already handled tournament pressure in Europe. That combination made the opener to the card’s top tier more than a local showcase.
Rabadanov Meets Alex Chizov
Gadzhi Rabadanov added another divisional layer to the night, entering at 26-5-1 for a 160-pound catchweight contest against 2025 PFL Europe lightweight tournament winner Alex Chizov. Rabadanov was trying to bounce back from a loss to Alfie Davis, his first defeat since 2020.
That run gave the bout a different kind of weight than the main event. Rabadanov’s recent loss ended a long stretch of consistency, while Chizov arrived with a tournament title on his résumé and a chance to turn that result into immediate relevance at a new weight.

For Zendeli, it was a chance to keep an unbeaten PFL run intact and add another result after his 2024 Europe tournament win, while Rabadanov’s return from the Davis loss remained one of the card’s sharpest supporting lines.
