PFL MENA 4 Weigh-in Results: New Main Event Cleared; 2 Showcase Bouts Changed


The Professional Fighters League's inaugural Middle East and North Africa season is coming to an end with four championship fights.

While the bill has gone through some slight transformations on weigh-in day, all eight title fight participants successfully made weight for the event. This show serves as the preliminary portion to the 2024 Season PFL Championships event later that day. It will see PFL MENA fighters compete for gold in five-round fights in the welterweight, lightweight, featherweight and bantamweight divisions. Two fighters missed weight: Lilia Osmani, who came in 2.3 pounds over the atomweight limit for her amateur fight against Hattan Alsaif. Their tilt has been transformed into a 109-pound catchweight affair. Per MMA Fighting, Jesus Pinedo reportedly weighed in six pounds above the featherweight cap, and he has been replaced by Gabriel Braga against Jeremy Kennedy.

The new main attraction will see Maraoune Bellagouit take on Abdullah Al-Qahtani for the PFL MENA featherweight title. Bellagouit (6-1) will look to bounce back from his first career defeat, which came to Islam Reda. Meanwhile, Al-Qahtani (9-2) is also coming off a loss after losing a decision to Abdalrahman Alhyasat, who withdrew from the scheduled main event with an "urgent health problem." Both men came in under the 145-pound limit.

PFL MENA 4 will air live on ESPN+ starting at 7:15 a.m. ET/4:15 a.m. PT on Friday.
