Saudi’s PIF: A Titan in the Sports Realm
Switch gears, and let’s look at Saudi Arabia’s PIF. The fund has left indelible footprints across a spectrum of sports. Whether it is the golf greens of LIV, the hallowed football grounds of Newcastle United, the adrenaline-pumping tracks of Formula 1, or the fervor of the Saudi Pro League, the PIF has amplified its presence.
So, its venture into PFL is not a mere investment. It is a big statement.
Welcome, PFL MENA!
The linchpin of this partnership is undoubtedly the birth of PFL MENA, targeting a 2024 debut. The acronym MENA stands for the Middle East and North Africa—areas pulsating with raw, yet-to-be-honed MMA talent. With PFL setting up camp here, we are primed to see a fresh battalion of MMA enthusiasts and warriors.

Hola / Saudi Arabia’s PIF is putting a whopping $100 million into PFL.
And it gets even spicier. Saudi Arabia is rolling out the red carpet not just as a spectator but as the grand stage for the pay-per-view PFL Super Fights. Imagine the synthesis of ancient traditions and modern sporting spectacle, all unfolding under the star-studded Arabian skies.
PFL’s Odyssey Beyond Its Home Turf
The PFL is not content with just continental dominance. It is eyeing a global empire. With PFL Europe already etching its mark, the organization’s sights are now set on the vast terrains of Africa. And who is leading this charge? None other than former UFC heavyweight sensation Francis Ngannou.
Ngannou’s enlistment is no mere transaction. It is a strategic masterstroke. With his African lineage and unparalleled skills, he is poised to be the poster boy for PFL Africa.
