The first PFL MENA event takes place tonight and it features experienced featherweight Abdullah Al-Qahtani in the main event.
He was originally set to face Taha Benadoud, but the latter was forced to pull out of the fight after he failed to make the contracted weight.
The undefeated Yazeed Hassanain has been brought in as a replacement, but with just three professional MMA fights under his belt, it's a big ask for him to get the win in Riyadh.
Here's everything you need to know ahead of Al-Qahtani vs. Hasanain.
