PFL Sioux Falls weigh-in results: 1 fighter misses weight

· Yahoo Sports


The Professional Fighters League kicks off its busy May with a 12-fight card that features an exciting welterweight clash.

The PFL Sioux Falls main event is now official after Logan Storley and Florim Zendeli both made weight. The five-round main event will see the former interim Bellator champion look to get back into the win column at the expense of the Albanian, who is undefeated within the promotion. As for the rest of the card, a flyweight fight between Sabrinna de Sousa and Cheyanne Bowers was bumped up to a 134-pound catchweight, and Magomed Magomedov missed weight by .8 pounds for his bantamweight fight against Leandro Higo. Magomedov will be fined a percentage of his purse as a result.

Storley (18-4) has had an up-and-down run since entering the PFL. The former Bellator titleholder lost in his debut to Shamil Musaev, but then put together three straight wins over Luca Poclit, Joseph Luciano, and Masayuki Kikuiri. However, "Storm" most recently dropped a five-round decision to Thad Jean in the 2025 welterweight finals. The 33-year-old weighed 170.4 pounds for his latest fight.

Looking to upset the American fighter is Zendeli (9-1-1), who hasn't been defeated in his past seven fights. The Albanian most recently won a decision over Omar El Dafrawy and is 4-0 inside the promotion. The 27-year-old stepped on the scale weighing 171 pounds on the dot.

PFL Sioux Falls will air live on ESPN2 and ESPN+ on Saturday. Prelims begin at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT, while the main card starts at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT.
