He seeks a statement win to restart his welterweight title push.

Overview

  • The main event, airing Saturday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN2, takes place at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, where the Roslyn, South Dakota native expects strong hometown support.
  • Storley returns from a nine-month layoff after his Aug. 1, 2025 decision loss to Thad Jean and frames this bout as his route back to contention.
  • He says he will push the pace, dominate positions, and hunt a finish after offseason work with former UFC champion Robbie Lawler to add more damaging tools.
