The Brains and Brawn of Souhil Tahiri

The Professional Fighters League’s Souhil Tahiri is as intelligent as he is violent.

His doctorate in mathematics tells you as much, as he heads into his PFL MENA 3 lightweight semifinal opposite Mohsen Mohammadseifi this Friday at the PFL MENA Studio in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Tahiri continues to chase his dreams of becoming a world champion and making it onto the PFL global roster, all while staying focused on success inside and outside the cage. He wants to silence the doubters and show them he was right.

“It was always very important to me,” Tahiri told Sherdog.
