“I switched to management and within like three weeks of working with my new manager he was like ‘hey, I know we’re still kind of like getting to know each other, but I want to know how you feel about PFL as an option,” Bowers recalled, “At this point I am open to anything bigger and better, so he presented me with the opportunity.”

Not only is the option bigger than where she was, but Bowers believes that the 125lbs division in PFL might be as good as anywhere. She’s excited for the challenges on the way – especially the one at the top.

“It’s a step-up – there’s a ton of really good girls in the PFL. Within the next year to two years I would love to fight Dakota [Ditcheva],” she said. “I don’t think it’s really any different in my eyes compared to the UFC. I feel like it’s very well-rounded and it has a deep 125 pool right now.”

It’s not only flyweight kingpin Dakota Ditcheva that has her interested. When looking up and down the division, Bowers sees plenty of exciting matchups as well as fighters she looks up to.

“I actually just noticed yesterday they added another girl fight to the Sioux Falls card with Talia Santos on it. I’ve always been a huge fan of hers even before she fought Valentina for the the UFC belt. Super pumped to see that in person,” Bowers said. “Other girls like Jenna Bishop and Angela Hill I’ve always like been googly-eyed in love with – they’re just such cool fighters. So to know that I’m in the same pool as Jenna Bishop is super awesome because I’m a big jiu-jitsu girl.”

However, it’s not just the existing stars that makes PFL’s flyweight division so good. Their commitment to grabbing the top upcoming talent in the division also gives it real growth potential.

“Overall like there’s a lot of up-and-comers like myself that are that are entering the division a lot of girls that are undefeated like 6-0, 7-0 somewhere like that,” she said. “There’s a lot of rising talent that I think we’re going to see kind of explode over the next year or two.”

Bowers will get her first crack at one of those undefeated names when she faces Sabrinna de Sousa at PFL Sioux Falls. That fight takes place as part of the prelim portion of the card, which begins at 7pm EST this Saturday on ESPN 2.

Headlining PFL Sioux Falls at the Sanford Pentagon on May 2, 2026 will be welterweight standout Logan Storley (18-4), facing Florim Zendeli (11-1-1). Also announced via press release, former LFA champ Cheyanne Bowers (7-2) will make her promotional debut opposite Sabrinna de Sousa (5-0).

Storley, a former Bellator interim champ, sits ranked #4 in the PFL’s 170lb division, while Zendeli holds the #7 position. “Storm” Storley is a South Dakota native who last competed in Sioux Falls in June 2024. The 33-year old saw a three-fight win streak snapped when he fell to Thad Jean in the PFL Welterweight World Tournament final last August.

Albania’s Florim Zendeli won the PFL Europe tournament at lightweight in 2024, his first year with the promotion. He fought just once in 2025, notching a win over Omar El Dafrawy as part of the PFL Champions Series card in Dubai last October.

Former interim LFA flyweight champ Cheyanne Bowers was a solid signing by the promotion earlier this year, and makes her debut against the #9-ranked de Sousa. Bowers has won her last two fights, both under the Legacy Fighting Alliance banner, while de Sousa is undefeated as a pro in MMA, with two wins inside the PFL cage.
