Dakota Ditcheva asked – and now PFL says she’ll receive.
One day after Ditcheva (14-0) told MMA Junkie she was “gutted” by the lack of activity, it was announced on the 2025 PFL World Tournament 3 broadcast Friday she’ll return in July. No date, location, or opponent coincided with this announcement.
“I did just have a great chat with Donn (Davis). I did actually,” Ditcheva said on the broadcast. “I’m being a little bit more hopeful now. I think people are really getting a little bit more stressed that they weren’t going to have me fight this year. But guys, I’m coming back. Don’t worry.”
Ditcheva, 26, broke through as a star in the promotion in 2024 as she went 4-0 with four finishes en route to a 2024 PFL women’s flyweight championship. Ditcheva has not competed since November when she finished former UFC title challenger Taila Santos with strikes in less than two full rounds.
