Logan
Storley will square off against Dante
Schiro in a welterweight contest at Bellator 265.
Sherdog.com confirmed the booking with a promotion official
following an initial report from
MMAjunkie.com. Bellator 265 takes place at the Sanford Pentagon
in Sioux Falls, S.D., on Aug. 20 and is headlined by a heavyweight
duel pitting Cheick Kongo
against Sergei
Kharitonov. The evening’s main card will air on Showtime.
A native of Roslyn, S.D., who was a four-time NCAA All-American
wrestler at the University of Minnesota, Storley will look to
rebound from his first career defeat. After beginning his
professional tenure with 11 consecutive triumphs, Storley dropped a
split verdict to current welterweight champion Yaroslav
Amosov in his most recent outing at Bellator 252 this past
November.
Schiro will enter his promotional debut with an 8-2 career mark.
The Wisconsin native notably has two victories under the Legacy
Fighting Alliance banner and is coming off a TKO triumph of
eight-time UFC competitor Kenny
Robertson on March 27.
