RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA — The 2024 PFL Global Season and the first-ever PFL MENA Season come to an electric conclusion tomorrow following today’s official weigh-ins. Live from King Saud University and in partnership with the Ministry of Sport and the Saudi Mixed Martial Arts Federation (SMMAF), the Professional Fighters League will crown ten champions when all is said and done on Friday.

Riyadh once again played host to another monumental night of fights as 2022 PFL Featherweight Champion Brendan Loughnane (30-5) looks to claim gold once again versus the undefeated Timur Khizriev (17-0). The critically acclaimed 2023 PFL Europe World Champion Dakota Ditcheva (13-0) will take on her toughest test to date as she squares off against former title challenger Talia Santos (22-3). 2023 PFL Light Heavyweight World Champion Impa Kasanganay (18-4) aims to have history repeat itself, when he collides against Bellator veteran Dovletzhan Yagshimuradov (24-7-1). In the Welterweight division, Russia’s Magomed Umalatov (17-0) will square off against fellow countryman Shamil Musaev (19-0-1), while former Bellator Lightweight World Champion Brent Primus (15-3, 1 NC) faces the dangerous Gadzhi Rabadanov (23-4-2). Lastly in the Heavyweight division, a pair of Russian heavy-hitters in Denis Goltsov (19-1) and Oleg Popov (35-8) will battle for the $1 million grand prize and coveted PFL strap.

In addition, PFL MENA’s inaugural season is reaching its conclusion, and four champions will also be crowned in the Welterweight, Lightweight, Featherweight, and Bantamweight divisions. PFL MENA is creating a pathway for regional athletes to compete in the PFL Global Season.

The weigh-ins are now registered and official, with all PFL World Championship fighters making weight and ready to compete for the coveted title and $1,000,000 prize. In the PFL MENA Championship Bouts, Abdelrahman Alhyasat is out of his PFL MENA Featherweight Championship fight and will be replaced by Marouane Bellagouit, who will enter the SmartCage against Abdullah Al-Qahtani.

For the evening’s Featherweight Global Showcase Bout, Jesus Pinedo missed weight and will be replaced by 2023 PFL runner-up, Gabriel Braga, who will now fight Jeremy Kennedy. In the Women’s Atomweight MENA Showcase Bout, Lilia Osmani missed weight by 2.4 lbs, and her fight with Hattan Alsaif will now be competed at a Catchweight of 109 lbs.
