FULL FIGHT CARD REVEALED FOR 2025 PFL MENA 2 IN RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA

By

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA - 11 June, 2025 - The Professional Fighters League (PFL) today announced the full fight card for PFL MENA 2, set to take place at the Green Halls in Saudi Arabia on Friday, July 4, 2025. The event will feature top talent from across the region with tickets on sale now at webook.com, and also available to watch on STARZPLAY app in the MENA region.

In the main event, 2024 PFL MENA Welterweight Champion Omar “God First” El Dafrawy (13-5-0) returns to Saudi Arabia, where he captured his 2024 title. With his toughest test to date ahead of him, Dafrawy will step back into the SmartCage to face 2024 PFL Europe Welterweight finalist Daniele “The Cyborg” Miceli (13-6-0) in a high-profile showcase bout.

The co-main event features a pivotal Welterweight tournament clash between Kuwait’s Mohammad Alaqraa (7-1-0) and Palestine's Omar “187” Hussein (11-6-0). Alaqraa, a 2024 PFL MENA finalist and the current division leader, is seeking redemption after suffering the first loss of his professional career in last year’s finals. Hussein, a former PFL Europe standout, is aiming to hand Alaqraa a second defeat and make a strong statement on the Middle Eastern MMA scene.

In a highly anticipated Bantamweight Quarterfinal bout, Algeria’s Mokthar “Le Kabyle” Benkaci (24-9-0) will face Lebanon’s Marcel Adur (19-7-0). Both fighters are known for their explosive striking and finishing power, making this matchup a strong contender for the most thrilling bout of the night.

Local favorite Hattan Alsaif (AM 3-0-0) returns to the SmartCage for what is anticipated to be another exciting amateur showcase. The rising Saudi talent faces her toughest opponent yet in Nour Al Fliti (AM 1-1-0), a three-time Lebanese MMA champion and IMMAF Asian Championship silver medalist.

Rounding out the card, Abdulaziz Bin Moammar (AM 1-0-0) will also represent the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in an Amateur Catchweight Showcase bout against Egypt’s Hassan Ahmed (AM 3-1-0).
