PFL MENA went down earlier today (Fri., July 4, 2025) in Green Halls in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The quarterfinals event featured top welterweight and bantamweights from the Middle East hoping to move one step closer to becoming PFL MENA Champion.
2024 PFL Welterweight Champion Omar El Dafrawy of Egypt faced Daniele Miceli (13-6-0) in a showcase welterweight bout that saw Farway submit Miceli in the very first-round with a slick triangle choke. In the co-main event, Palestine’s Omar Hussein took on Mohammad Alaqraa of Kuwait in a welterweight tournament quarterfinal bout, which resulted in a unanimous decision victory for Alagraa.

Stop with the Mena and PFL Europe bullshit. Just put on good fights and have the best giys fight eachother.
PFL has way too many layers and it’s hard to follow and makes people uninterested. They have a very good roster but mismanage it horribly. Stop with the regional shit and put on good fights, then maybe people will give a shit.
Sorry for the drunk rant.
YOU ARE 1000# Correct !!!
