The Professional Fighters League (PFL) staged its first ever PFL MENA event on Friday night in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The main event featured Abdullah Al-Qahtani who impressed in front of his home fans against late replacement Yazeed Hasanain. Al-Qahtani was dominant throughout the fight and he proved too much for Hasanain who verbally submitted in the second round which gave the former a spot in the PFL MENA featherweight semi-finals.
In the co-main event, Iraq's Ali Taleb earned a unanimous decision victory over Nawras Abzakh in a fight which Taleb controlled from start to finish.
