Florim Zendeli, an Albanian welterweight known for his aggressive style and multi-disciplinary foundation, is set to make his first appearance in the United States. He faces Logan Storley in the main event of PFL Sioux Falls on Saturday. This marks a significant step for the 30-year-old fighter, who has built his career predominantly in Europe.
Zendeli's record shows a career spanning regional circuits before his PFL commitments. He currently fights under the Professional Fighters League banner, which has recently adopted a traditional ranking system. Zendeli's previous outing was a unanimous decision victory over Omar El Dafrawy at PFL Champions Series 3 on October 4, 2025.
Background and Fighting Style
Hailing from Balingen, Germany, Zendeli trains out of the Planet Eater MMA camp. Standing at 6'1" with a 77-inch reach, he is described as a welterweight contender with a wrestling and grappling background, complemented by finishing capabilities across various fight phases. His approach is characterized as relentless and pressure-forward.
