This year, the tournament will shine a spotlight on Saudi talent.
Saudi Arabia has rapidly become a powerhouse in the global sports scene. The Kingdom has played host to numerous high-profile fighting and MMA events, and now, the excitement continues. The Professional Fighters League (PFL MENA) is returning to Saudi Arabia, and this time, it is bringing all the action to Jeddah.
Taking place on 9 May, PFL MENA Season 2 will kick off at the Onyx Arena. Following a successful debut in 2024, the Professional Fighters League is teaming up with Jeddah Season, promising a tournament that’s bigger and better than before.
One of the standout features this season is the focus on local fighters, particularly those from Jeddah. You can look forward to witnessing rising star Malik Basahel making his professional debut, while seasoned veteran Ahmed Makki will enter the cage for his final bout. For the first time ever, four Saudi fighters will feature on the fight card, which showcases Saudi Arabia’s growing presence in the MMA world.
Jeddah is no stranger to MMA. It hosted its first major fighting event back in 2014. Now, with the success of PFL MENA in Riyadh, the tournament is set to make its way to the Red Sea city and reignite its passion for the sport.
With the atmosphere of Jeddah Season as the backdrop, this collaboration with PFL MENA is perfectly poised to captivate MMA fans and serve as a launchpad for regional fighters vying for international glory.
Tickets to PFL MENA go live on 25 March. So, if you want to witness the action firsthand, Jeddah is about to be the centre of the MMA world, and you won’t want to miss it.
