DAKOTA DITCHEVA || $1,000,000 PFL Fight Week || ​⁠

Dakota Ditcheva - IN HER CORNER - Come behind the scenes of one of the most historic fight weeks in MMA history! I spend 9 days with Dakota Ditcheva, PFL female flyweight sensation, as she prepared to become the youngest PFL champion EVER! Intense training sessions, weight cut and of course that walkout before stepping into the smart-cage for her monumental victory, this exclusive documentary gives you an insider’s look at what it takes to make MMA history like you've never seen before.
Watch as Dakota not only wins the $1 million prize but also becomes the first fighter to claim both the PFL Europe and World Championships. As well as hear my thoughts as one of Dakota's coaches and cornermen, along with family and friends experience this incredible feat of skill.

Her striking is about as polished as it gets. One of the best front kicks in combat history. You need to go back to the 80's PKA to see some kickers, THAT IS ALL THEY WORKED. Need to see her jaw tested, other than that, I'd put all my money on her. She's scrappy strong, weird strength, maybe it's the tendons and ligaments, who knows why some are freaky strong.
