Background
The event will mark the promotion's fourth visit to Sioux Falls, following Bellator 284 in August 2022.
A welterweight bout between former Interim Bellator Welterweight Champion Logan Storley and Brennan Ward is scheduled to headline the event.
The event also features a heavyweight bout between former Interim Heavyweight Champion Valentin Moldavsky and Steve Mowry. The pairing previously met at Bellator 284 in August 2022, where the bout ended in a no contest as a result of an accidental eye poke by Moldavsky during the first round.
