Taking center stage in the main event at Sanford Pentagon in his home state of Sioux Falls, S.D. Storley aimed to rebound from a prior title unification loss to Yaroslav Amosov in February.

As Round 2 commenced, Ward reverted to his jab-centric strategy relentlessly stalking Storley around the circular cage. Storley, however, proved his adaptability by capitalizing on an opening and executing another successful takedown. Ward’s frustration with his ground predicament prompted him to engage in trash talk aiming to goad Storley into a stand-up brawl.

Unfazed by the verbal jabs, Storley maintained his composure and seized the moment to elevate his performance. Responding to Ward’s provocations, Storley intensified his control, leading to a surge of powerful punches unleashed from the top position. Ward’s attempts to escape Storley’s grasp were futile against Storley’s formidable strength and unyielding control. The culmination of Storley’s assault prompted referee Jason Herzog to intervene, calling a TKO stoppage as Storley’s relentless blows proved insurmountable for Ward.

Storley’s victory not only signaled a triumphant comeback but also underscored his adaptability and strategic prowess within the cage. His ability to adjust to challenges and capitalize on opportunities showcased his commitment to excellence. Moreover, Storley’s well-rounded skill set, blending grappling and striking with poise, makes him a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division.
