Nashville, TN — The Professional Fighters League (PFL) is making headlines with some exciting changes aimed at enhancing the fan experience. Recently, the PFL launched a new free consumer app that allows fans in the West to watch international events at no cost. Additionally, the organization has announced a shift from Universal Studios to road venues for all shows and introduced affordable ticket prices. These initiatives have sparked a wave of goodwill among fans and fighters alike, especially as the PFL prepares for the World Tournament Semifinals, kicking off this Thursday in Nashville.
Welterweight contender Logan Storley (17-3) shared his enthusiasm for the PFL's trajectory during a media day event on Tuesday. He stated, “I’m excited for PFL’s future. We’ve got a great roster, great people leading this company, and we put on exciting fights, right? So I think it’s going to continue to grow, and continue to get better and better.” Storley emphasized the organization's commitment to showcasing top-tier fighters and delivering thrilling matchups.
As the PFL Nashville event approaches, Storley is focused on a significant challenge ahead. He is set to face Masayuki Kikuiri, a seasoned Japanese Pancrase champion who has also competed in Bellator MMA. Kikuiri enters the bout riding a five-fight win streak, creating a tough test for Storley. “He’s well-rounded. He moves well, very technical,” Storley assessed, adding, “but I will get to my positions and do what I do best.”
Despite the impending matchup, Storley is prioritizing his preparation. He noted, “Biggest thing for me is, I’ve got a weight cut ahead of me, and I’ve got 15 minutes against a very, very good opponent. So that’s all I’m worried about, is semifinals, Thursday night. For me, that’s where my focus is at.” His intense focus reflects the dedication required in this high-stakes tournament.
Should both fighters secure victories on Thursday, a clash between Logan Storley and Jason Jackson, a fellow teammate at Kill Cliff FC and another Bellator alum, could become a reality. The anticipation surrounding this potential matchup adds excitement to the PFL playoffs as fans eagerly await the outcome of both fighters.
With Wednesday’s media day offering a platform for fighters to share their thoughts and strategies, you should keep an eye on Storley’s full appearance. The PFL's recent fan-focused initiatives and thrilling fights promise an engaging atmosphere for MMA enthusiasts. As the organization continues to evolve, the spotlight is on PFL Nashville, where fighters aim to prove their mettle in the semifinals. Tune in for what is sure to be an electrifying night of fights.
