Overview
- Ditcheva won the PFL New York co‑main event but says she re‑injured bones in hands that had healed from earlier breaks and are now back in splints.
- She revealed the re‑injuries in a YouTube video and said she felt the problem from the start of the second round but did not tell her corner during the fight.
- Ditcheva previously had reconstructive surgery on one hand and declined surgery on the other, a decision she now says carried a known risk of re‑fracture.
- Her surgeon will determine next steps in the coming days, and Ditcheva cautioned she will be out for an undetermined short period while she recovers.
- The setback threatens a near‑term booking against Liz Carmouche and complicates MVP and PFL plans to position Ditcheva as a centerpiece of the merged promotion.
