PFL confirms departure of Logan Storley following sexual battery arrest in Florida

The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has confirmed that it has parted ways with Logan Storley following the fighter’s arrest on charges of sexual battery in Key West, Florida. The organisation’s spokesperson verified the separation to MMA Junkie, stating that the decision was made prior to the incident but was formally acknowledged in the wake of the police report.

Storley, 33, was taken into custody by the Key West Police Department on Monday morning. He faces one felony count of sexual battery and has since posted a $50,000 bond, releasing him from police detention. The arrest was first reported on Tuesday by the Miami Herald, with the full police report subsequently obtained by MMA Junkie.

According to the police report, the alleged incident began at the Bull and Whistle bar, where a woman reportedly made physical and verbal attempts to decline Storley’s advances. The report describes Storley as "pushy" as he followed the woman and her group to the Garden of Eden, a clothing-optional upstairs bar, where he persisted in asking her to dance despite her refusals.

The allegations state that Storley followed the woman into a nearby alley after she attempted to leave the premises to order an Uber. Police documents allege he became increasingly insistent that she perform sexual acts and instructed her to kneel. The woman reportedly complied with oral sex, believing it would allow her to leave, before Storley allegedly initiated further sexual contact against her will.

When witnesses intervened and approached Storley, he fled the scene. The woman informed staff at the nearby Teasers strip club, where the manager observed Storley running naked and detained him until law enforcement arrived. The arresting officer noted the scent of alcohol on Storley’s breath; he declined to speak with police without legal representation.

Storley most recently competed on May 2, winning a PFL main event by split decision. He previously held a 19-4 record and competed 12 times under the Bellator banner between July 2017 and August 2023. Before his mixed martial arts career, he was a four-time Division I All-American wrestler at the University of Minnesota.
