It was always a matter of time before Saudi Arabia attempted to invest in MMA, especially given the kingdom’s rivalry with the UAE, which has strong ties to the UFC.

Ultimately, fighters looking to succeed in MMA will now be caught between a Trump-loving org. with appalling labor practices, or an org funded by a kingdom known for dismembering journalists & many other human rights abuses. Sigh…
@ZidanSports How long before we get PFL-KSA do you think?
@ZidanSports I thought the rivalry was with qatar
@ZidanSports That where the Bellator money gonna come from? 😒
@ZidanSports You think PFL has the means to directly compete with UFC now? With this and the fighter contract lawsuit progressing?
@ZidanSports There’s no rivalry between the two 😭
@ZidanSports It is a problem if sportwashing works but I've yet to see any evidence. Like Qatar airways, they have excellent price performance ratio and I've used them but I don't feel any sympathy towards Qatar whatsoever.
