Pro MMA fighter arrested in Key West on sexual-battery charge, police say

A professional mixed martial arts fighter was arrested in Key West early Monday morning after police say he sexually battered a woman in the street while wearing no clothes before being stopped by the manager of a nearby strip club who witnessed the incident.

Logan Storley — who up until earlier this month fought as a welterweight under contract with the Professional Fighters League, which is broadcasts on ESPN — was booked into Monroe County’s main jail on Stock Island on one count of sexual battery. A clerk at the jail said Tuesday he has since been released on a $50,000 bond.

Storley, 33, who won his latest fight on May 2, did not respond to a voicemail left on his cellphone by the Miami Herald, and his management company did not return a request for comments. A PFL spokeswoman said in an email that Storley no longer fights for the league, and he was released before his arrest.

According to his arrest report, Storley met the woman at the Bull and Whistle, a three-story bar on Duval Street, at around 3 a.m. The woman told detectives Storley was trying to dance with her, but “wanted to get away.”

She and her sister went to the second-story bar to dance, where she saw other people in Storley’s group, according to the report. He asked the woman to go to the third-floor bar, where clothing is optional, and “get naked,” the report states. She said no, but eventually did go to the upstairs bar, called The Garden of Eden, according to the report.

When Storley made another attempt to dance with the woman, she danced close to another woman “in an effort to avoid him,” the report states. She then went downstairs to leave the establishment without him noticing, she told police according to the report.

But, Storley followed her outside and persuaded her to go into an ally on Telegraph Lane, a block east of Duval Street, where he got naked and had intercourse with the woman against her will, according to the report. The incident was witnessed by several employees of Teasers, a strip bar that is on Duval and backs into Telegraph Lane, detectives wrote in the report.

When Storley noticed the employees, he ran away, leaving his clothes behind, but he was apprehended by the Teasers manager, who took him to officers in the area, according to the report. Officers took the woman to a health clinic for a sexual-assault examination, the report states.

After being read his rights, Storley said he did not want to talk to police without his attorney present, according to the report.

Storley, originally from South Dakota, lives in Deerfield Beach, according to the arrest report. His professional career took off after a split-decision win for the Bellator welterweight title in May 2022 against Michael “Venom” Page, according to his biography on PFL’s website.

Bellator and PFL merged rosters, and Storley earned his way to the 2025 PFL welterweight-tournament final, his biography reads. Before fighting professionally, Storley was a four-time NCAA Division-I All-American wrestler for the University of Minnesota.
