PFL MENA Sets May 24 Dubai Return at Coca-Cola Arena

Overview

• PFL MENA, the Professional Fighters League’s Middle East arm, scheduled a tournament event at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena on May 24.
• The lineup features a main event between Emirati former UFC fighter Mohammad Yahya and Mehdi Saadi, plus the pro debut of Emirati IMMAF champion Zamzam Al Hammadi.
• PFL MENA general manager Jerome Mazet said the city feels like “business as usual” and pointed to Emirates restoring about 75% of flights as the travel backbone for the show.
• The Dubai plan follows a rescheduled May 8 card in Khobar, Saudi Arabia due to the regional conflict, with Dubai’s tourism and sports authorities indicating the city is ready to host events.
• The promotion aims to spotlight regional fighters before home fans, a move that could speed the wider return of international cards as venues, airlines, and hotels scale back up.
