PFL MENA to Partner with Jeddah Season to Help Grow the Sport of MMA in the Middle East
The Professional Fighters League (PFL) has announced that Season 2 of PFL MENA will kick off at the Onyx Arena in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on Friday, May 9.
Following a successful inaugural season in 2024, the second season of PFL MENA aims to further expand mixed martial arts (MMA) in the Middle East by highlighting local talent and providing regional fighters a clear pathway to international recognition and success.
This season, PFL MENA will be partnering with Jeddah Season to elevate the sport of MMA in the Middle East by integrating world-class fights into one of Saudi Arabia’s biggest cultural and entertainment festivals. This collaboration aims to bring the excitement of MMA to a broader audience while providing a platform for regional fighters to showcase their skills.
A city rich in MMA history, Jeddah hosted its first major MMA event in 2014, and PFL MENA aims to reignite the city’s MMA scene this year.
PFL MENA will also continue to celebrate local Middle Eastern talent, as the season will honor fighters who call Jeddah home, namely Malik Basahel (21-3-1 AM.) who will make his professional debut, and Ahmed Makki, who will be competing in his final professional bout.
“We’re very excited to be coming back for a second season and expanding our reach to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia,” said Jerome Mazet, PFL MENA General Manager. “Jeddah is home to a number of amazing fighters and has a strong fanbase, so we’re excited and grateful to bring the sport of MMA back to this incredible city.”
“Last year, the first-ever season of PFL MENA was a massive success, and it did a wonderful job of elevating the sport of MMA in the Middle East, not only by putting on amazing events for the fans, but also creating heroes and building stars that represent the quality and level of Middle Eastern MMA. We cannot wait to put on even more amazing events and build even more stars this year,” Mazet added.
More information about the upcoming PFL MENA season will be announced soon. Stay tuned to PFL MENA on social media for more details.
