Dakota Ditcheva Says She Has Five Fights Left on PFL Deal as She Prepares to Return

Her statement stops recent reports of a two‑fight $2 million deal that had suggested an imminent UFC move.

Overview

  • Ditcheva told media she does not have two fights left on her PFL contract and that five fights remain, and she declined to confirm reported per‑fight pay figures.
  • She is cleared to fight Denise Kielholtz in the co‑main event at PFL New York as she makes her comeback from extended hand injuries.
  • Ditcheva missed months after breaking her left hand in a fight and suffering a second broken hand in training that forced her to withdraw from a February bout and triggered a difficult period for her mental health.
  • During the layoff she expanded commercial work, announcing a partnership with Vann Norway and taking a film role, and she says she plans to be more active when fully healthy.
  • Her contract clarification reduces immediate talk of a move to the UFC and leaves the PFL in control of her next fights as she works toward a stated retirement at age 32.
