PFL cancels second consecutive Saudi Arabia event, postponing Jeddah card indefinitely

PFL has postponed PFL MENA 10 indefinitely, scrapping its Jeddah event less than 48 hours before it was due to take place at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium Sports Hall on Friday. The promotion announced the decision on Wednesday, offering no new date and no confirmation of whether the scheduled bouts will be moved to future cards.

The cancellation marks the second consecutive PFL event in Saudi Arabia to be pulled. PFL MENA 8, originally planned for May 8 in Khobar, was axed roughly a month before it was due to go ahead.

In its official statement, PFL attributed the latest postponement to “internal operational and event readiness considerations,” adding that it remains committed to hosting events in Jeddah. “We look forward to welcoming fans for what promises to be another exciting night of world-class mixed martial arts action,” the organisation said, without specifying when that might be.

PFL MENA 10 had been built around a catchweight main event between Hattan Alsaif and Dania Ouhachi, with quarterfinal bouts from the promotion’s local welterweight and flyweight tournaments also on the bill. The futures of those matchups are now uncertain.

With the Saudi card off the schedule, PFL’s next confirmed event is its San Diego card on June 27. Former Bellator featherweight champion A.J. McKee headlines against undefeated Salamat Isbulaev, while former Bellator and PFL titleholder Liz Carmouche meets Viviane Araujo in the co-main event.
