The inaugural PFL MENA season continued on Friday, and MMA News has you covered with all the action!
Having broken onto the scene with its unique regular season and playoff format in North America, the Professional Fighters League (PFL) has begun its pursuit of further prominence around the globe.
In 2023, that took sizable step forward with the maiden PFL Europe season. And this year, the promotion continues to grow with its latest regional expansion, PFL MENA (Middle East and North Africa).
Like the inaugural card on May 10, the sophomore event went down from from The Green Halls in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In the main event, the host nation’s own Mostafa Rashed Neda built on his showcase performance on the PFL 9: 2023 Playoffs card last August.
To extend his winning run to four, the MMA Jeddah Club standout got the better of former OKTAGON athlete Abdel Rahmane Driai. Algeria’s “Silverback” had won two straight since falling short against current UFC fighter Robert Bryczek, but his run was brought to an end by way of knockout in the very first round.
Elsewhere, PFL veteran Jarrah Al-Silawi returned to the SmartCage successfully after snapping his losing skid with a victory under the Brave CF banner last December, while highly touted women’s amateur Hattan Alsaif followed her memorable head kick KO from PFL MENA 1 this past May with another impressive showing front of her home fans.
While the event was broadcast on DAZN for select countries, it was unfortunately not available to audiences in the United States. However, MMA News has you covered below with the full results and all the highlights.
