PFL MENA 11 lands at the Global Theater in Boulevard City, Riyadh on Friday, October 2, with semifinal action in three weight classes and a light heavyweight main event carrying a decade of history behind it.
Mostafa Rashed Nada and Osama Elsaidy headline in a light heavyweight main event that also serves as the rubber match in one of the region’s most heated rivalries. The Saudi and the Egyptian first met in 2016 at Desert Force, splitting their first two encounters and building a history that has included tense press conferences and weigh-in scuffles along the way.
Semifinal Matchups
- Welterweight: Badreddine Diani vs. Hazem Kayyali, and Omar Hussein vs. Abdelkrim Zouad
- Lightweight: Ylies Djiroun vs. Basel Ahmed Shalaan, and Mohammad Fahmi vs. Ahmed El Sisy
- Featherweight: Islam Youssef vs. Elias Boudegzdame, and Shadi Kabbani vs. Mehdi Saadi
Winners in each division advance toward the PFL MENA tournament final, where the regional format has paid out a $100,000 prize to the champion in past seasons.
