RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – 3 July 2025 – The 2025 PFL MENA season continues tomorrow night with the PFL MENA Quarterfinals, live from the Green Halls in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The card features top Welterweight and Bantamweight mixed martial artists from across the Middle East, all looking to move one step closer to becoming PFL MENA Champion. But before they step into the SmartCage, the fighters stepped onto the scale for tonight’s Official Weigh-ins.
In the main event, 2024 PFL Welterweight Champion Omar “God First” El Dafrawy (13-5-0) of Egypt, faces Italian submission machine Daniele “The Cyborg” Miceli (13-6-0) in a Showcase Welterweight Bout. El Dafrawy weighed in at 170.1-pounds, while Miceli weighed in at 170.9-pounds for their marquee matchup.
In the co-main event, Palestine’s Omar “187” Hussein (11-6-0) meets 2024 PFL MENA Welterweight Runner-Up Mohammad Alaqraa (7-1-0) of Kuwait in a Welterweight Tournament Quarterfinal bout. Hussein weighed in at 171-pounds, while Alaqraa weighed in at 170.6-pounds.
Also on the card, Saudi women’s MMA pioneer Hattan Alsaif (3-0-0 AM) makes her highly-anticipated return to the SmartCage to take on Lebanon’s Nour Al Fliti (1-1 AM). Alsaif weighed in at 105.8-pounds, while Al Fliti weighed in at 106-pounds for their Showcase Amateur Women’s Atomweight contest.
The Catchweight Amateur Showcase bout between Abdulaziz Bin Moammar and Hassan Ahmed Moustafa has been removed from the card, as Hassan Ahmed Moustafa was not medically cleared to compete. Additionally, Mehdi Saadi is out of the Bantamweight tournament after significantly missing weight. He is replaced by alternate Islam Youssef, who missed weight by a smaller margin. The card now features 11 bouts.
