The Professional Fighters League returned to Boulevard Studios for PFL MENA, delivering an evening of standout performances from some of the region’s top mixed martial arts athletes. The event featured tournament-defining bouts and highlight-reel finishes that energized the home crowd.

In the catchweight main event, Saudi fighter Hattan Alsaif made her professional debut against Algeria’s Dania Ouhachi. Alsaif opened the fight with an early takedown despite facing a dangerous armbar attempt from Ouhachi. In the second round, she landed a powerful overhand right that decisively dropped her opponent, ultimately securing the victory and giving the Saudi star a 1-0 professional record.

The co-main event featured a pivotal welterweight matchup between Lebanon’s Hassan Shaaban and Jordan’s Hazem Kasyali. Kasyali controlled much of the opening round with an aggressive series of leg and head kicks, putting pressure on Shaaban. The subsequent rounds saw both fighters grappling for dominance, engaging in a back-and-forth contest.

Another highlight from the main card was Missouri’s Malik Basahel, representing Jeddah, who maintained his undefeated streak with a unanimous decision win over Morocco’s Imad El-Azami. Basahel's grappling skills were on full display as he secured a 30-27 score on two judges’ cards while the third judge scored it 29-28, demonstrating clear control throughout the flyweight contest.

The event underscored the rising talent across the MENA region as fighters from Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, Algeria, and Morocco showcased their skills in front of an enthusiastic local audience.
