Minnesota mat alum Storley added to Bellator 216 card

Logan Storley, a four-time NCAA All-American wrestler for the University of Minnesota, has been added to the fight card at Bellator 216 in Connecticut next month.


Storley, 26, will face Ion Pascu in a welterweight (170-pound) bout at Bellator 216 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. on Saturday, Feb. 16.

The former Golden Gopher puts his perfect pro MMA record of 9-0 overall -- and 4-0 in Bellator -- on the line against Pasco, a 36-year-old from Romania.

Storley, who launched his pro MMA career in August 2015, won his last Bellator bout with a second-round TKO over A.J. Matthews at Bellator 204 last August. Pascu brings an 18-9 overall record to his match with Storley, and a 0-2 record in Bellator, including a unanimous decision loss to Ed Ruth, three-time NCAA mat champ for Penn State, at Bellator 196 in Budapest, Hungary in April 2018.
