Alaqraa dispatches Galal in 21 seconds in PFL MENA’s ‘Champions Collide’ fight night at The Arena Riyadh
RIYADH: Kuwait’s mixed martial arts fighter Mohammad Alaqraa defeated Egypt’s Ayman Galal by technical knockout in the PFL MENA Welterweight Semifinal Saturday night at The Arena Riyadh, earning his way to a final match with Morocco’s Badreddine Diani.
The fight ended in just 21 seconds after Alaqraa (9-1) landed a powerful kick to the thigh of Galal (4-2), sending the “Maestro” down, apparently injured.
Alaqraa’s victory concluded an action-packed “Champions Collide” fight night featuring Professional Fighters League combatants from the Middle East and North Africa, which also saw Saudi fighter Hattan Alsaif announcing her decision to turn professional after a flawless 4-0 amateur career.
“I knew he’s gonna think I’m gonna grapple and shoot in the beginning,” Alaqraa told Arab News after the fight.
