Logan Storley sees his first main event as the perfect preparation for a title fight.
Storley (12-1 MMA, 7-1 BMMA) will headline the promotion’s first five-round non-title fight when he meets Neiman Gracie (11-2 MMA, 9-2 BMMA) at Bellator 274 on Feb. 19, and the standout wrestler expects big stakes out of this matchup.
“I think it’s good for practice for that title shot,” Storley told MMA Junkie. “To get in these moments not just practice, but real life competition and have you go five rounds if we have to and the training camp was different, kind of preparing for those last two rounds. Things like that you’re going to have that – this is what I got in the fight game for was to be world champ, and in order to be world champ, sometimes you’ve got to go all five rounds. So I think it’s a good stepping block, and this is going to be a great fight.”
