Professional Fighters League (PFL) is less than 24 hours in front of its debut in Morocco, part of a broader PFL Africa initiative that develops and fosters mixed martial arts (MMA) in a largely untapped region. While Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) continues to ignore pleas from its top African stars, and champions of African descent
, PFL is charging forward with some of the most recognizable names on the continent.That includes CrossFit Games athlete and seven-time African Sambo Champion
Sanaa Mandar, who rematches 21-year-old Nigerian phenom Jane Osigwe as part of the PFL Morocco fight card on Sat. night (Oct. 10, 2026) from inside the Mohammad V Sports Complex in Casablanca. The entire 11-bout lineup, headlined by the titanic tilt between heavyweight hurters Abdoulaye Kane and Badr Medkouri, will stream exclusively on the Starzplay network at 1 p.m. ET.
Elsewhere on the card, finalists will be determined in the bantamweight, lightweight, and welterweight divisions, with winners moving on to compete for $100,000 in prize money and the right to be called best in class later this year. All 22 fighters came face-to-face earlier today in Casablanca for the official PFL Africa: “Morocco” weigh ins, embedded above.
