Dakota Ditcheva is proving to be a good investment for the PFL.
At the 2022 PFL Championships, Ditcheva (7-0) slugged opponent Katherine Corogenes (2-1) into unconsciousness with a brutal knockout at the 4:20 mark of Round 1. The flyweight fight took place at Hulu Theater in New York as part of the prelims.
Much like her promotional debut in August (a 58-second knockout win), Ditcheva utilized her clinch early. Although initially successful in her defense in the clinch, Corogenes ate a big knee upon the break. Ditcheva pursued and threw a violent multipunch combination that floored Corogenes and finished the fight with a standing hammerfist.
