Dakota Ditcheva wins 2023 PFL Europe women's flyweight championship in dominant fashion
Dakota Ditcheva proved that she is certainly one to watch as she earned a dominant win over Valentina Scatizzi to win the 2023 PFL Europe women's flyweight championship and $100,000 prize money.
It was a one-sided affair as Ditcheva showcased her striking by landing powerful shots that left significant damage on Scatizzi's face. Despite her resilience and toughness, the cageside doctor called an end to the fight following the first round as her left-eye was swollen shut.
With the win, 'Dangerous' improved her unbeaten MMA record to 10-0 and now becomes one of the PFL's top prospects heading into 2024.
