Undefeated 2024 PFL women’s flyweight champion “Dangerous” Dakota Ditcheva has quickly become one of the most recognizable faces of the promotion and appears on a path to superstardom. After a brief hiatus, the 26-year-old finisher is set to return to action on Saturday, July 19, where she will take on Sumiko Inaba at the organization’s historic PFL Africa 1 event, which streams live in the United States on the PFL app from Cape Town, South Africa.

Ahead of that matchup, Dakota spoke with Grind City Media’s John Morgan.
