Mustafa Nada and Osama El Saidi set PFL MENA rematch in Riyadh

Saudi fighter Mustafa Nada and Egyptian fighter Osama El Saidi have renewed their rivalry ahead of a highly anticipated rematch scheduled for October 2 in Riyadh. The bout serves as a semi-final match in the PFL MENA championship.

The upcoming fight marks the first time the two athletes have faced each other in ten years. Their previous encounters resulted in a split: Nada won the first via judges' decision, while El Saidi secured a technical knockout victory in 2016.

During a virtual press conference, Nada confirmed he is fully recovered from a hand fracture that had previously delayed their matchup. El Saidi expressed readiness for various fighting styles, including striking and grappling, noting that while the competition is intense, he maintains respect for his opponent outside the cage.
