2025 PFL MENA 2 Vlog – Behind the Scenes in Riyadh

Episode 1 of the PFL MENA 2 Vlog drops fans backstage at one of Riyadh’s most charged MMA nights yet. As the Professional Fighters League expands into the MENA scene, this series captures the quiet intensity before the cage door shuts — warmups, team talk, tension.

This first episode spotlights the opening trio of fights. Abdalrahman Alhyasat set the tone early against Anthony Zeidan in a gritty scrap that woke up the crowd (watch it here). Then came Islam Yusuf vs Benyamin Ghahreman — Yusuf put on a clinic in timing and calm under pressure.

The wildest clash? Ali Yazbeck vs Nawras Abzakh. It was pressure vs patience, pace vs poise. This one had corners on edge and fans locked in from bell to bell.

You’ll also catch backstage moments with early fighters like Omar El Dafrawy, Mohammad Alaqraa, Mohamed Zarey, and Moktar Benkaci — names that are shaping the identity of the PFL’s regional rise. For highlight finishes, check the PFL MENA 2 finish reel.
