PFL shifts MENA show from June 19 to July 10

In May, the promotion was slated to post up at the Dhahran Expo in
Khobar, Saudi Arabia. Plans changed, and that card was scrubbed and
bumped back to June 19 at Jeddah instead of Khobar. Via a press
release on Thursday, the company will be shipping that fight event
to the Boulevard Studios in Riyadh on July 10. The
lineup of this show vs. the previous one in June will remain
similar, with both Hattan
Alsaif and Malik
Basahel seated on the marquee.

Alsaif will be looking to make her professional debut on this date,
entering into her first paid bout against 1-1 Algerian Dania
Ouhachi who has both won and lost her past matches by
submission. Alsaif typically competes at 105 pounds to Ouhachi’s
125, so they will be meeting in the middle at a current unlisted
catchweight in the main event.

Top notch
featherweights headline PFL San Diego: Tune in Saturday, June 27 at
7 p.m. ET on ESPN 2.

Featured in a showcase slot but not necessarily in the co-main spot
will be the fourth pro outing for Jeddah’s own Basahel (3-0). He
will square off with Imad El
Azami (1-0) in a featured spot on the billing. In addition to
these pairings, the featherweight and welterweight brackets of the
MENA tournaments will carry on at this event.
