Logan StorleyMeanwhile, the former Golden Gopher is concentrating on his upcoming match on Friday, March 4 when he will be facing Rode "Chunk" Vocu at RFA 36: Barcelos vs. Vannata at Mystic Lake Casino in Prior Lake, Minn. just outside Minneapolis-St. Paul. Vocu is a former high school wrestler and Golden Gloves boxer from North Dakota who won his pro MMA debut last October.
"It doesn't really matter how good a guy's striking is if I take him down," Storley told the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader Friday. "And same for how good a guy's ground game is if he can't take me down."
In addition to Storley, at the top of the card at April's RFA 37 is the inaugural light-heavyweight title bout featuring two 205-pounders with perfect records, Devin Clark (5-0) and Rafael Viana (6-0). Also slated for the event is South Dakota MMA veteran Jordon Larson, and former Augustana College (S.D.) wrestler Sid Bice.
Storley announced his plans for a pro MMA career last spring, after winning three amateur bouts. The six-time South Dakota high school state champion wrestler and four-time NCAA All-American at Minnesota won his first two pro matches in short order, scoring a first-round TKO via punches over Bill Mees at RFA 29 in Sioux Falls, S.D. in August. In January, Storley earned another TKO victory in the opening round, this time vs. Marc "the Pummel" Hummel at RFA 32 at Prior Lake.
