PFL MENA 10 (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia)
The Professional Fighters League heads to Riyadh for another PFL MENA event featuring several of the region’s top rising prospects. While many of the competitors are still building their international reputation, the card offers several intriguing matchups. Here are our predictions for the top two fights.
Co-Main Event: Hassan Shaaban vs. Hazem Kayalli
Shaaban enters the bout with a 7-1 professional record and has won his last four fights. Kayalli owns a 2-0-2 record but faces the toughest challenge of his career. Kayalli should make things competitive early, but Shaaban’s experience and consistency should carry him to a decision victory.
Prediction: Hassan Shaaban by Decision.
Main Event: Hattan Alsaif vs. Dania Ouhachi
Hattan Alsaif makes her professional debut after an impressive amateur career and will enjoy home support in Saudi Arabia. Ouhachi is 1-1 as a professional but appears to be a favorable matchup for the highly regarded prospect.
Prediction: Hattan Alsaif by KO.
→ Saturday
OKTAGON 91 (Cologne, Germany)
Saturday’s action begins in Germany with OKTAGON 91, featuring two championship fights atop the card. The event starts at noon ET and should provide plenty of action as champions attempt to defend their titles.
Co-Main Event: Mochamed Machev vs. Gjoni Palojak
Machev defends the OKMMA Featherweight Championship carrying a 17-2 record and a three-fight winning streak. Palojak has been in excellent form himself, but Machev’s power and championship experience make him the favorite.
Prediction: Mochamed Machev by KO.
Main Event: Kerim Engizek vs. Krzysztof Jotko
Engizek returns to defend his middleweight title after suffering a loss in his most recent appearance. Jotko arrives with excellent momentum and has the tools to push the champion throughout five rounds. This projects as the closest fight on the card.
Prediction: Kerim Engizek by Decision.
