PFL shifts MENA show from June 19 to July 10

The Professional Fighters League will hold a show in Saudi Arabia this year one way or another.

In May, the promotion was slated to post up at the Dhahran Expo in Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Plans changed, and that card was scrubbed and bumped back to June 19 at Jeddah instead of Khobar. Via a press release on Thursday, the company will be shipping that fight event to the Boulevard Studios in Riyadh. The lineup of this show vs. the previous one on the 10th will remain similar, with both Hattan Alsaif and Malik Basahel seated on the marquee.

Alsaif will be looking to make her professional debut on this date, entering into her first paid bout against 1-1 Algerian Dania Ouhachi who has both won and lost her past matches by submission. Alsaif typically competes at 105 pounds to Ouhachi’s 125, so they will be meeting in the middle at a current unlisted catchweight in the main event.

Featured in a showcase slot but not necessarily in the co-main spot will be the fourth pro outing for Jeddah’s own Basahel (3-0). He will square off with Imad El Azami (1-0) in a featured spot on the billing. In addition to these pairings, the featherweight and welterweight brackets of the MENA tournaments will carry on at this event.
