A seasoned combatant with a hunger for redemption, Jordanian veteran Jarrah Al-Silawi, "The Jordanian Lion," prepares to reclaim his rightful place amongst the PFL's elite.


Al-Silawi's initial foray into the PFL was a resounding success. A thunderous first-round knockout secured him a coveted spot on the global roster, followed by a decisive victory over the esteemed UFC veteran Gleison Tibau. He established himself as a force to be reckoned with, a dominant presence within the organization.


However, a series of unforeseen setbacks necessitated a strategic withdrawal. Unbowed by these temporary defeats, Al-Silawi honed his skills in BRAVE CF, emerging from the crucible of competition re-energized and triumphant. Now, he returns to the PFL SmartCage, a seasoned warrior with a renewed purpose to reclaim his lost dominion.



Al-Silawi re-enters the PFL MENA arena on July 12th in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as the co-main event of PFL MENA 2.  Facing off against Egypt's Ahmed Sami in the welterweight tournament, he wields his prior PFL experience as a potent weapon, a strategic advantage gleaned from past battles.


"I possess the requisite tools to achieve victory," declares Al-Silawi with unwavering conviction.  "Furthermore, I have meticulously diversified my training regimen, fully comprehending the demands of the global stage. I have vanquished some of the most formidable opponents this sport has to offer."


Beyond personal ambition, Al-Silawi serves as a champion for Middle Eastern fighters, a beacon of inspiration for those who follow.  "My unwavering dedication to the art of combat, coupled with my exceptional physical prowess and strategic acumen, make me a formidable adversary on the battlefield," he states with a steely resolve.



Participation in the PFL transcends mere competition for Al-Silawi; it represents an honor and a platform for regional talent to ascend.  "Being an integral part of this esteemed global organization is a privilege," he proclaims. "The PFL's expansion into Saudi Arabia presents a momentous opportunity for Middle Eastern fighters to showcase their abilities on a grander stage, a stage that demands excellence and recognizes true mastery."


The PFL MENA 2 on July 12th marks a pivotal moment for Al-Silawi. Will the Jordanian Lion silence his doubters and recapture the glory that once defined him? The world awaits his answer, a testament to his unwavering spirit and indomitable will.
