Setting the table for a remarkably unforgettable night in Khobar, Saudi Arabia, PFL MENA 4 (2025) brings a large selection of some of the most elite fighters on the planet as the MENA bantamweight, featherweight, lightweight and welterweight tournaments come to an end. Taking top billing at the event, hot promotional contender Mohammad Alaqraa faces Badreddine Diani. In the co-main event, undefeated powerhouses Salah Eddine Hamli and Mohammad Fahmi contend for their most notable international achievement to date.
PFL MENA 4 (2025) Main Event
Fighting out of the esteemed American Kickboxing Academy, Alaqraa has made quite a name for himself in the PFL. Racking up a solid company record of 4-1, the 26-year old phenom is aiming to make it three straight wins in a row with a resounding performance in the competition finals.
Perfect inside the smart cage across his trio of PFL appearances, Diani finds himself in the spotlight at the largest MENA card of the year. Unbeaten since 2023, “Dreamchaser” is ironically chasing his dream of becoming a world champion for the first time.
PFL MENA 4 (2025) Co-Main Event
Arriving in the company this past May, Eddine Hamli has cemented his place as a submission artist to watch with two third round tap outs. Heading into his match at MENA 4 (2025), “Supersalah” can put his name on the minds of fans around the world by handing his fellow undefeated contemporary his first loss while hoisting a PFL belt high above his head.
Also something of a grappling expert, Fami has similarly accrued two submission victories in the PFL, however, they both occurred in the first round instead. In what is gearing up to be a fun Jiu-Jitsu bout, there is no doubt that “Soulkeeper” will stop at nothing until he feels his opponent’s hand pats his body in defeat.
