This year’s PFL tournament, renamed a “season” to the PFL World Tournament, has felt abbreviated, and that is perhaps because it has been. It started in April, and unlike the previous PFL seasers efforts, it is over well before November. The final even starts this Friday.
Yet the strong pace is something that finalist Logan Storley of Welterweight, a former interim champion of Bellator MMA, has appreciated.
“It’s a bit strange because we as hunters, you always have so high from your last fight, especially those with the victories,” explained Storley (18-3), who spoke to Cageside Press in a recent interview. “This tournament, it’s a bit like, you don’t forget it, but you continue because you come back to the camp. And so I really enjoyed it just because you stay active.”
“I think a sport like MMA, it’s just a difficult sport to gain experience and always let the momentum roll,” Storley continued. “Because you will fight, you will feel great and suddenly you take a six-month break, or you don’t fight for six months. Then you have two back-to-back, then you won’t fight for six to eight months.”
In comparison with other sports, well -known Storley: “If you watch other major competitions, they compete once a week, twice a week, for 16 games, 17 games. I think MLB [major league baseball]They are 162 games. “With the tournament format, the PFL uses, fighters keeps active:” You get that momentum rolling and you get just as much better. “
Storley, who fights against Thad Jean in the Welterweight PFL Final in Atlantic City This Friday it can be expected that they will then fight for the Champions Series. Yet he did not look too far ahead, partly because he does not know whether a title shot will immediately follow the world tournament.
‘I don’t have it [thought about it]Because we are not told a ton. PFL, I think we’re going in the right direction, I think they are doing very well – happy with the tournament, eight guys, some elimination, boys can fight on the Undercard. I really love how they did everything this year, but we are not really told a ton about what these champions series look like. What our planned looks like, all that. ‘
Storley has focused on the tournament and the task that is obvious. “You are going to win this tournament, then you can have a kind of, you dictate your future, what your schedule looks like. For me that is where I am now. I am just worried about Thad Jean, I know he is a very difficult child, and I have to go inside and beat him first.”
During the last media day of Wednesday PFL World Tournament, Storley, who works with people like Robbie Lawler and Nick Lentz, added that “with wrestling never looks ahead. So Friday evening, I only worry about that belt, and then talk to where we are what the schedule looks like.
