In two months, Logan Storley will be appearing in his first-ever main-card bout in his young pro MMA career.

The four-time NCAA All-American wrestler for University of Minnesota will be facing Joaquin Buckley in a welterweight (170-pound) event at Bellator 197 at Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo. just outside St. Louis on Friday, April 13.

Storley signed with Bellator in June 2017. This will be his third fight within that organization, having won his most recent bout by unanimous decision over Matt Secor at Bellator 186 last November. The 25-year-old native of Webster, S.D. -- same hometown as former UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar -- brings a 6-0 record to Bellator 197 since his first pro MMA fight in November 2015. Five of Storley's wins were by TKO, four of those in the first round.

A native of St. Louis, Buckley, 23, brings a 8-1 pro record to Bellator 197. His only loss was to Jackie Gosh at Bellator 164 in November 2016, the victim of a first-round TKO. Of his seven wins, five were by TKO. Buckley launched his pro MMA career in September 2014.

In addition to the Storley-Buckley bout, other main-card matches at Bellator 197 include Brent Primus vs. Michael Chandler (an NCAA All-American wrestler for University of Missouri), A.J. McKee vs. Justin Lawrence, and Kevin "Baby Slice" Ferguson vs. Devon Brock.
