Saudi Arabia’s fastest-rising MMA star Hattan Alsaif will headline PFL MENA’s return to Riyadh on Friday, July 10, as the promotion confirmed a stacked fight card featuring undefeated regional prospects and key tournament bouts at Boulevard Studios.

The event, originally scheduled for Jeddah, has been relocated to Riyadh as part of an updated PFL MENA calendar, with Alsaif set to take center stage in a catchweight showcase main event against Algeria’s Dania Ouhachi.

Alsaif, who enters the bout with a perfect 4-0 amateur record, will make her professional debut in front of a home crowd as she continues her rapid rise as one of the most closely watched prospects in Middle Eastern MMA.

The Saudi standout has built strong momentum under the PFL MENA banner following an undefeated amateur run and an early professional victory, with expectations now rising as she steps into a higher-profile spotlight bout.

Her opponent, Dania Ouhachi of Algeria, brings a 1-1 professional record into the matchup, setting the stage for a regional clash between two emerging fighters looking to establish themselves on the PFL MENA stage.
