Hattan Alsaif’s pro debut headlines historic night at PFL MENA
10 in Saudi Arabia


PFL MENA 10 took place on Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as
the 2026
Professional Fighters League featherweight and welterweight
tournaments continued on.

History was made in the main event as rising star Hattan
Alsaif squared off against Dania
Ouhachi in the main event, the first ever female headliner in
Saudi Arabia.

Half of the 10-fight card ended before the final bell, none bigger
than Alsaif, who picked up the second-round technical knockout over
Ouhachi, sending the Saudi Arabian crowd into a frenzy. Alsaif has
been under the spotlight since her arrival in the company, winning
all four of her amateur clashes before her professional debut
Friday.

2026 PFL MENA welterweight tournament

There was plenty of bad blood in the co-main event, with Hazem
Kayyali taking on Hassan
Shaaban, as they had dustups in the fighter hotel throughout
the week. Kayyali would get the final say in their rivalry, picking
up a unanimous decision. The beef was then settled between them and
Kayyali advanced to the Semifinals.

Kayyali will take on Badreddine
Diani, who was a 2025 PFL MENA finalist, and now gets back into
the semifinals after picking up an unanimous decision victory over
Yousef
Adel.

The other side of the welterweight bracket will see Abdelkrim
Zouad take on Omar
Hussein, as both picked up finishes in their respective
quarterfinal fights. While Hussein was eliminated early in the 2025
PFL MENA tournament, Zouad made it to the semis in his first year
with the promotion.

2026 PFL MENA featherweight tournament

In the featherweight quarterfinals, Shadi
Kabbani improved his professional record to 4-0 with his first
win under the PFL MENA banner. Kabbani handed veteran Ahmed Tarek
the second loss of his pro career, picking up a victory by
unanimous decision.

One of the most impressive performances of the event came on the
other side of the featherweight bracket, where Elias
Boudegzdame notched a first-round submission of Hussein
Salem.
