PFL 6 Update: Logan Storley Gets New Opponent in Sioux Falls Co-Main Event

Logan Storley will be facing an opponent change with less than a week to go before his second Professional Fighters League appearance.

The promotion announced on Monday that Laureano Staropoli , Storley’s original opponent, has withdrawn from the event and will be replaced by Luca Poclit in a new welterweight season bout at PFL 6 on Friday. Poclit was originally booked against Zach Juusola on the evening’s undercard.

PFL 6 takes place at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and is headlined by a featherweight tilt between Brendan Loughnane and Justin Gonzales . Storley vs. Poclit is currently listed as the co-main event. The main card airs on ESPN and ESPN+ at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT, while prelims stream on ESPN+ at 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT.

A former Bellator interim champion and a South Dakota native, Storley is coming off a second-round knockout loss to Shamil Musaev at PFL 3 on April 19. His record includes victories over the likes of Michael Page , Brennan Ward , Neiman Gracie and A.J. Buckley.

Moldova’s Poclit has won 10 straight professional fights. He last appeared at Bellator 299, where he scored a first-round submission of Roman Faraldo this past September.
