RIYADH: PFL Mena has announced the official fight card for its upcoming event taking place on July 10 at Boulevard Studios in Riyadh. The event was relocated from Jeddah to the Saudi capital as part of an updated schedule.

Headlining the event will be Saudi star Hattan Al-Saif (4-0 AM), who will make her professional debut in a catchweight showcase main event against Algeria’s Dania Ouhachi (1-1).
