Overview
- Ditcheva defeated Denise Kielholtz by unanimous decision to remain unbeaten at 16-0 in the co-main event at UBS Arena on July 31.
- The win marked Ditcheva’s first fight after about a year out for reconstructive hand surgery and rehab and gave her 15 full minutes of cage time she called valuable.
- Parts of the crowd booed as the bout went to decision and Ditcheva said the reaction bothered her because she had wanted a stoppage.
- Ditcheva told reporters she learned about the PFL-to-MVP deal from internet reports and said she will take another fight now rather than sit out for a rebrand.
- PFL CEO John Martin said the promotion plans to move Ditcheva toward a title match with Liz Carmouche soon, a booking that would resolve the vacant flyweight picture.
