Hattan Alsaif scores another second-round finish to stay unbeaten in young amateur career

Hattan Alsaif found martial arts after losing her parents, and she has found great success, becoming a Kingdom Boxing Champion in 2022, an IFMA Muay Thai Gold Medalist in 2023, and a World Combat Games Gold Medalist. Alsaif made history when she became the first-ever Saudi woman to compete in the PFL. She is 3-0 as an amateur, with all fights coming last year in the PFL, scoring KO/TKO wins of Nada Faheem, Eman Baraka, and Lilia Osmani.

 

Nour Al Fliti is a Lebanese National Kickboxing Champion. The Top Team Academy fighter is 1-1 in MMA, with both of her fights taking place in the IMMAF Asian Championships. She defeated Bushra Akhtar but was submitted by Matilda Bachurina in the semifinals.

 

Will Alsaif’s winning ways continue? Or will Al Fliti pull off the major upset?
