"The Championships are the culmination of our sports-season format, where PFL athletes have beaten the odds to reach this point in the toughest test in all of sports," PFL CEO Peter Murray said in a release.
"Participation in MMA across Saudi Arabia has grown by more than 20% over the past year, with world-class events such as this a huge driver in increasing interest among our nation's youthful population," Abdullah Al Hazza, CEO of the Saudi Mixed Martial Arts Federation said.
"Hosting the Championships for the 2024 PFL Global Season strengthens Saudi Arabia's position on the world MMA map, with the exposure and experience gained for our athletes invaluable in their development."
"This will be the first time that the PFL Championships will also include finals from one of its regional organizations, marking a significant milestone in (the country's) continued commitment to growing the sport of MMA."
