Saudi athlete Hattan Al-Saif marked her professional mixed martial arts debut with a victory in Riyadh on July 10, 2026, defeating Algeria's Dania Ouhachi at PFL MENA 10 held at Boulevard Studios.
Al-Saif secured the win by technical knockout via punches in the second round at 3:38. The bout was contested at a 105-pound catchweight.
The result gives Al-Saif a winning start to her professional career and adds to the growing presence of Saudi women in combat sports. Her debut on home soil in Riyadh reflects the wider expansion of mixed martial arts events within the Kingdom.
For local fans, the event underscored Riyadh's continued rise as a hub for international and regional sporting fixtures. As more high-profile competitions take place across the Kingdom, opportunities for residents and expats to attend live events continue to grow.
No government service, application step, or official fee applies to attending or taking part in this type of sporting event.
