RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has revealed the full fight card for PFL MENA 2, set to take place at Green Halls in Riyadh on Friday, July 4, 2025, in front of a passionate home crowd. The event will stream live in the region via the STARZPLAY app, with tickets available now at webook.com.
In the main event, 2024 PFL MENA Welterweight Champion Omar “God First” El Dafrawy (13-5) returns to Saudi Arabia, where he captured his title last season. He now faces former PFL Europe finalist Daniele “The Cyborg” Miceli (13-6) in a non-tournament welterweight showcase bout that promises to deliver fireworks.
The co-main event features a key Welterweight Quarterfinal clash between Kuwait’s Mohammad Alaqraa (7-1) and Palestine’s Omar “187” Hussein (11-6). Alaqraa, who reached the finals last year, looks to bounce back from the first defeat of his career. Hussein, a former standout in PFL Europe, will look to derail the division leader’s comeback and punch his ticket to the semifinals.
Also on the card, Algeria’s Mokhtar “Le Kabyle” Benkaci (24-9) takes on Lebanon’s Marcel Adur (19-7) in a highly anticipated Bantamweight Quarterfinal matchup between two proven finishers. Both bring knockout power and international experience to what could be the most explosive bout of the evening.
The card also highlights emerging talent, including Saudi amateur standout Hattan Alsaif (AM 3-0), who returns to the SmartCage against Lebanon’s Nour Al Fliti (AM 1-1) — a three-time national champion and IMMAF silver medalist.
Rounding out the night, Abdulaziz Bin Moammar (AM 1-0) will represent the Kingdom in a 160 lb catchweight amateur showcase against Egypt’s Hassan Ahmed (AM 3-1).
