PFL MENA 10: Rising star earns TKO in first female MMA main event in Saudi Arabia
PFL MENA 10 made history on Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as rising star Hattan Alsaif delivered a second-round technical knockout of Dania Ouhachi in the main event—the first female-headlined MMA show ever held in the Kingdom. The victory electrified the crowd at Boulevard City and marked Alsaif's professional debut after an unblemished 4-0 amateur record.
The card showcased the 2026 PFL MENA welterweight and featherweight tournaments. In the co-main event, Hazem Kayyali and Hassan Shaaban settled a rivalry that had boiled over throughout fight week, with Kayyali earning a unanimous decision to advance to the welterweight semifinals. Kayyali will face Badreddine Diani, a 2025 finalist who also picked up a unanimous decision over Yousef Adel. The other welterweight semifinal will pit Abdelkrim Zouad against Omar Hussein, both of whom finished their opponents in their quarterfinal bouts.
On the featherweight side, Shadi Kabbani improved to 4-0 with a unanimous-decision win over veteran Ahmed Tarek in his PFL MENA debut. Elias Boudegzdame impressed with a first-round submission of Hussein Salem to advance on the opposite side of the bracket. Half of the ten-fight card concluded before the final bell, underlining a strong night of finishes across both tournament brackets.
