Media The #1 WMMA fighter Dana White wants to sign, but she's in the PFL.

[GearSolidMetal]

I admit I was completely unaware of her until a few hours ago, and I'm not easily impressed but she floored me.

TLDR - Dakota Ditcheva
*As a teenager she won the Gold at the IFMA World Muaythai Championships in 2016.
*10-1 Professional MuayThai record, only loss was her final fight which was by decision.
*14-0 MMA record, only one went to a decision. Only two fights have gone to the third round.
*Trains out of Manchester England. (Important for marketing)
*Modelesque features. (Very important for marketing)
*4 fights within 8 months in 2024. (Very active)

With the UFC marketing department behind her she could be the biggest WMMA star since Rousey.

She's already made it clear her goal is to fight Valentina. She only moved to PFL after considering the UFC. PFL was a steppingstone for her from the start.

It's only a matter of time, especially with the PFL dropping to half a million per show (if true).

PFL won't contain that kind of potential for long.

It was that last fight against Santos that really separated her; easy to beat up on lessers but not easy to beat up Santos like that.

Is Daner actually interested?

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Dana should trade the whole 125 division for her

 

[Hellowhosthat]

She'll turn up at some point. I was a bit annoyed when she signed with PFL in the first place but she's richer now I guess

 

[Hdfi]

Yep, she would be a great addition to the FLW division.

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Hell of a promo vid.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

I dig it. Hope someone more knowledgeable chimes in with pedigree differences between her and JJ / Val, as I’m woefully ignorant on such

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Dana has a box a viagra and a shit ton of TRT ready for her when she gets here.

 

[World eater]

There were several threads just in the past week. Someone is not paying attention
But yes, they should absolutely sign her asap.

Good fighter, looks good enough for Dana to smash, with the PFL bonus dropping, looks like an eventual done deal to the UFC.

She hadn't fought that level of competition until she fought Talia Santos but she ran through her pretty much so she's showed she belongs at the elite level. Problem is PFL really don't have much to throw at her other than old ass Liz Carmouche and the ghost of Ilima Lei MacFarlane

Dakota is a killer. Wish her success, no matter how things play out

 

[Streeter]

She should already be here . How .uch longer is her contract an could Dana buy it out . Hope it's not more than 1cor 2 more fights . Looking forward to seeing her in ufc. I don't hate all wmma like many on occasion it can be pretty good.

Her mom (Lisa Howarth) beat the UFC 1 commentator Kathy Long in a Muay Thai fight:
