Preview: PFL 6 2024

Welterweights

Logan Storley (15-3, 0-1 PFL) vs. Luca Poclit (10-1, 0-0 PFL)

Storley entered the PFL tournament as the top-ranked Bellator welterweight contender, but Shamil Musaev knocked him out of momentum. Storley was confident heading into the season opener but was badly hurt by Musaev’s right hand and a jumping knee. Nearly out on his feet, Storley tried to fight his way back, only to be pummeled into his first career knockout loss. Storley, a four-time NCAA Division I All-American, didn’t have the chance to employ his wrestling, but that shouldn’t be a problem against Poclit. Moldova’s Poclit, who steps in on short notice for Laureano Staropoli, has won 10 straight professional fights. He last appeared at Bellator 299, where he scored a first-round submission against Roman Faraldo in September. Storley could possibly sneak into the postseason with an early finish. Storley will have to take risks if he wants to make the playoffs, but he’s not one to force something that isn’t there. Expect a clear and dominant performance from the former Bellator interim champ, but it likely won’t be enough to lift him into the Final Four at 170 pounds.
