Knockouts on deck in PFL MENA title showdowns – PFL World Championship Highlights

Featuring in their return to Riyadh this evening, the PFL World Championships hosted a series of MENA-promoted clashes — featuring some of the biggest talents in the Middle East, in a slew of title fights from the bantamweight to the welterweight divisions.

Along with their cavalcade of massive $1,000,000 tournament clashes on tonight’s main card in Saudi Arabia, the PFL hosted a bantamweight MENA title fight between Rachid El Hazoume, and Ali Taleb.

And winning the bantamweight crown with a first round knockout in blistering fashion, Taleb would snatch the MENA championship with a brutal win inside the opening minute and a half of the opening round.
