The main event features Logan Storley taking on Florim Zendeli in a crucial welterweight showdown, while Cheyanne Bowers makes her promotional debut in a women’s flyweight contest against Sabrinna de Sousa.
Logan Storley, a native of Roslyn, S.D., returns to his home state after a standout 2024 campaign where he won the PFL Europe welterweight title and secured a victory in Sioux Falls. However, his journey hit a snag in 2025 when he lost to Thad Jean in the PFL welterweight tournament finals. Now ranked No. 4, Storley faces No. 6-ranked Florim Zendeli, who is riding a five-fight winning streak and recently defeated Omar El Dafrawy in the PFL Champions Series.
In the co-main event, Cheyanne Bowers, a Sioux Falls native and former LFA champion, makes her PFL debut against Sabrinna de Sousa. Bowers, on a two-fight winning streak, brings local pride to the cage as she squares off against de Sousa, who remains unbeaten in five professional bouts.
This event marks a significant return for Storley to his roots and offers an exciting clash of rising stars. For sports fans, it promises high-quality MMA action with compelling narratives, including South Dakota’s local heroes making their mark on the national stage. The PFL’s return to Sioux Falls highlights the growing popularity of mixed martial arts in the region and delivers another thrilling chapter in the fighters’ journeys.
