That’s exactly what happened to me man all of a sudden she popped up on my I don’t know if it was my Google page or my UA-cam. I think it was my UA-cam because I was looking at MMA fights like Valentina so then all of a sudden I see this Dakota girl pop up, but I’m like oh she’s gotta be like suck because of the way she looks and I was like she’s youknow beautiful looking blonde. I was like let me play or fight and I mean I played one fight and I was like I ended up. I think I’ve watched like five years ago. I watched some of her old Thai fights.
That's some absolutely vicious body work! Many people have iron chins, but nobody has an iron liver, and far too many MMA fighters neglect body blows, so hats off to her for striking at all levels.
@@sprmn1983 of course there's outliers there's just a reason you don't see great body work much in MMA compared to something like boxing. Bas also was doing it almost 30 years ago. Aldo, Nick Diaz, and Tony Ferguson had some solid success with it aswell though it's just not common for a reason.
Y'know, her staying at the lower levels in MMA for a little longer rather than rushing up toward the top was really smart. She was already a world-class striker with that Muay Thai background, but going up against grapplers and learning to defend against them just makes her that much better.
@@jamiegunter7016 She just beat the a girl who arguably won against shevchenko and was the number 1 contender last year in the ufc. So think she might be legit.
@rockyrivera6397 I seen that fight put this girl in the ring with shevchenko and watch her get crush shevchenko is a complete fighter. And no doubt best female striker ever and will put this girl on the ground and punish her. Shevchenko days are almost over because of age not because another female fighter is better
To be fair, I don't think she has had much competition. Her kicks are plenty powerful, but she looks a tiny bit shakey on her legs a few times, just momentarily, but I think if she meets a fighter who can hold their own against her, and go the distance, she will tire and weaken a lot if she doesn't work on leg strength and endurance more. Other than that though, no notes.
None of the UFC girls can go toe to toe with this Assassin. Never seen her hurt or unsteady on her legs that’s just a lame Excuse not to give her a big fight against UFC fighter. If Valentina Had a super fight UFC vs PFL champs it would destroy the women UFC 125 class over night.
As a Bulgarian,I can say i am REALLY PROUD OF HER,of her hard work,physique,dedication and those kicking ass movements 🤌🔥 🇧🇬Know that BULGARIA IS PROUD OF YOU !🇧🇬
I think it's aided by her innate, or long developed ability to anticipate the momentum, inertia, during movements and collisions, to be where she needs to be to strike, at the right time. She showed this in spades a couple of times in this clip where she was allowing her opponent to bounce back into her range via the cage, rather than just dive in as many do. She's an elite striker in terms of percent targets hit from myriad positions. Her power is pretty good too, for her age and size. But power into mostly wind is wasted effort. Dakota is superbly efficient.
To be fair. Women who could be there, never do. Women's fighting is not something most women strive to be. If more women chose to fight, we'd be very shocked at the talent.
She should be called « the surgeon » every hit not only looks effortless but is laser guided precise. I think she surpasses Silva in terms of striking prowess, I’ve never seen such effortless precision either
@deepdivedelightI was thinking the exact same thing. Starting at age 4 The earlier you start with a good coach that teaches perfect form, the better you will be!
@@King-oj8hrI think she has power but to be fair if you are accurate enough there is no need for power but Dakota seems to be doing pretty damn good considering you say she's got no power
There’s one fight they showed where the other fighter has that purple calf. That was one kick to start the fight. Then it’s hard to move. I’ve never seen a leg kick that hard. Ever. See the calf around 13:30 or so.
I think this is why Crocop and Fedor are so well loved, no pre fight BS, no theatrics, very rarely did you ever even see Fedor walk around with his arms in the air after a win. To them, winning a fight was the norm, not the exception. You don't celebrate driving to work :)
I don't even want to think about how long it takes to make these amazing, comprehensive videos. Well done. It's a better production than ESPN can dream of making. SALUTE!
Like dog fighters the worst of blood sports to oligarchs and CEOs. She a dirty fighter a blood thirsty killer, No honor. given freedomI think she will beat a helpless baby - (opponent, whatever she finds on the other side of the ring) with brutal fatal blows - no rules; look at the way referees try to get her to stop before she kills her opponent. . . to her this isn’t a sport . . .she was raised to kill and SHE WILL like a gladiator for your gambling addition - blood sport. how many people has she maimed brian damage, kidney liver all the soft tissues that will cause agony later in life of fighters, skull fractures. all this is sick porn for sick viewers. No wonder we have world wars and genocides.
Perfect encapsulation of a standard sportsbro. Needs to be shown a highlightclip to replace previous favorite for a new one. A-tier rooting for the laundry behaviour.
Lots of love to her from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 truly speaks volumes that she was essentially brought up in the UK but still proudly wears the Bulgarian flag to respect that part of her heritage. And thanks to VoteSport for giving this amazing showcase of her career run! I had seen her in our news but never actually realized what a beast of a fighter she was 🤯
Damn VISCIOUS technique. I've never seen any female fighter execute techniques with such fluidity and consistency. I've never seen a fighter just beat people down to a point that they just give up mentally and physically. BEAST!
Yeah, I’m impressed but also see opponents that aren’t warriors. She obviously is one. practitioners of Muay Thai strike to inflict as much pain as possible with pretty much every strike, so unless her opponents train hard enough to take it , they’ve got no chance. Time for the UFC for this lady…
How is it possible? Well she’s been around a long time already. You saw most of her fights lately now. They didn’t edit much out. She destroys people that quickly. Her older mui Thai stuff is just as good.
While she was fighting Santos (5'6) I googled Ditcheva height (5'8) and there is no way she has only 2 inch height and reach difference. She seems way taller than most opponents and her limbs also are freakish long, her body frame seems perfect for fighting and she uses it with perfect flow whenever she throws a shot. Not to mention being ambidextrous. Amazing
A reliable indicator of championship success outside the ring is having a good family and support network. It looks like she has both! I hope she is as good at life as she is at fighting.
I think that the most important part of this documentary about her is when they showed her with her grandmother... that sealed the deal on me being a huge fan of her's.. i miss my Nana every day...
dude that finish at 10:52 was insane. i've never seen someone get destroyed like that on every level. The front leg was crushed, then took a hard liver shot, and then got rocked to the chin. nobody could stay standing from that combination.
Fantastic round up of her highlights to this point. Thanks. Surely, not long until UFC show some interest. She has worked hard to get to level she is at. Wish her every success.
Her distance game is elite plus non telegraph front kicks and straight punches. She's also relentless, keep working till the end. Kudos to her Family too, her bro training with her and for sure mom's fighting genes. 🥰
Why even go to the UFC? She isn't earning a cool million there. I guess maybe with endorsements. But I don't think it's worth it. Unless Dana rolls out the red carpet.
She has no competition in the PFL and will never get tru recognition while competing there. The UFC needs to reach into their wallet and sign her. She has the potential to become a superstar. First female British champion.
So true, I mean to be fair she's probably making more than she would at the UFC. But the worldwide recognition from being in the UFC is a different kind of star power
@@magical8013 I'm not even sure if she gets more money in the PFL than in the UFC. The UFC would set her base pay to AT LEAST to what Michael Chandler got, which was $250,000 per fight. With her getting more attention and not having a shady background, she should get some high quality sponsors relatively fast too. She'd make at least $1.5 million a year in the UFC, assuming she fights a minimum of 3 times a year.
Oh shit, she has a Muay Thai background? That speaks for itself. Definitely a good fighter, based on her record. Watching strikers matches are always awesome! Glad to see a solid female striker
@@H.K.5 Yeah she is superb. I think, though i'm not 100%, that I used to pad for her when she was about 8 or 9 - I remember helping coaching with a blonde girl back then who was like lightening with her kicks and I think this is her.
Nearly at the million! I’ve been here since the beginning and you more than deserve the 7 figures Dakota got in her last fight. Awesome work as always, your channel hits above any others out there. 🙌🏼
Just watched all her PFL fights. This girl is something special and she has some of the best striking in womens MMA. Her timing, accuracy, shot selection and technique are levels above. She mixes in brutal body shots when going for the finish and just keeps making girls crumble. On top of all that she's a great talker and looks the part. Those legs.. jeez. Hopefully she makes a move to the UFC in 2025.
@@joetamaccio9475 She's fighting bums and nobodies where she's at. Can't be the best female 125er in the world if you don't actually fight the best 125ers. Strikeforce and WEC are pretty much the only promotions that brought a good number of decent fighters to the UFC (which is why the UFC bought them). Since then most people who have success in an mma promotion outside the UFC get stomped when they make the jump.
@@traviss9059 She's 26 years old. Her career is progressing how it should, even if you think all the pro fighters she's beating are "bums". And your final point is ridiculous. Anderson Silva, McGregor, Khabib, Adesanya, Pereira, Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall etc etc all came from other promotions.
While she was fighting Santos (5'6) I googled Ditcheva height (5'8) and there is no way she has only 2 inch height and reach difference. She seems way taller than most opponents and her limbs also are freakish long, her body frame seems perfect for fighting and she uses it with perfect flow whenever she throws a shot. Not to mention being ambidextrous. Amazing
One word. "Skill." Back to back to back on target shots. One after another. Zero lazy or delays. I call her a very smart fighter. Dangerous. Reminded me of a hammer and a cold chisel on concrete. Impressive
It's not often I actually wince seeing women's MMA striking but Ditcheva has some truly eye-watering body shots. So refreshing to see a striker earn that moniker by doing something else than popping jabs at the head all the time. And by keeping herself lean and mean, Slender Girl gets a punishing height advantage in this weight class. Also: the commentary is just... chef's kiss 😁.
Excellent documentary, giving me all the info from beginning to now! Wasn't aware of Dakota until your video! Though from all you views she will be a force to deal with. And Hollywood will be calling soon!
She has the physique and dexterity to turn a few of them into question mark kicks. And given the weight on those push kicks, nobody would see them coming.
@@Sensei_Frog Yea, he perfected that kick for 10 years after the Dalai Lama proclaimed him a deity. Obviously no human opponent has a chance against that kick because it's not a human kick.
I am impressed. Her kicks are great. Her knees look vicious. her leg kicks look painful. Her body punches are quality. Her defence looks good enough to keep it on the feet. Her ground game is good enough at this stage in her career. But i am most impressed with her fighting spirit. She gives it 100%. I think we finally have a english girl who can win it all.
Her striking is super impressive. Not often I toss out that compliment. I miss female fighters with that drive that Joanna once brought. This makes me even more excited for Dakota... She actually WANTS to be here.
She acts like it's a way of life ,she has no fear ,no questioning ,focused ,on every move ,she's what u call a real fighter and has fun while she's doin it.she could be a great role model for the younger.other opponents don't know what to think .underestimated .u go girl,stay focused
At the start I was like “oh cool yet another striker that’ll go 6-0 and then 0-6 after she finds out wrestling exists.” Instead, I’m eating my words and I’m going to go through the PFL catalogue this week.
Muay Thai is the best. Wrestling and grappling are all too limited and have to get close to opponent and have to go to grown. Muay Thai can do damage far away and midway and up close.
@@youaregoingtolovethisClearly you’re a fan who’s never practiced MMA. A quality wrestler or Jiu Jitsu practitioner can close the distance in less than a second & take down a stand up fighter. Ditcheva would still be fighting Muay Thai rather than MMA if she were not also working on wrestling, grappling & Jiu Jitsu. Without a ground game in MMA a fighter would get taken down quick, exposed quick & never make it out of the 1st round.
@@kenwahldhlamini8102 That’s what convinced me she was actually special. It did seem like in her scrambles to get up her back tended to be exposed it just wasn’t capitalized on by her opponents. So long as she continues to develop in her ground game I would expect her unbeaten streak to continue for a long time.
@@Simon-xi8tbexactly thank you I said it on my previous comment she's bones female version, wicked and Vicious elbow,kick but she punch harder than bones and let say bones got a little patience but this girls ain't got none . She's fucking dangerous
WOW just WOW!!! Dakota Ditcheva is VICIOUS, Laser Focused, Awesome Offence & Defense, Has the ability switch to Southpaw at anytime, Quick Hands with Power and Pinpoint Accuracy, Relentless and Dangerous/Vicious Kicking, Elbows & Knee Game, Elusive Ground Game! She is also Beautiful with a Great Personality! She already is the GOAT IMHO! UFC better get an open cheque book out ASAP! The BEST Women's MMA Fighter I have ever seen barre none!!!
I really hope she goes to the UFC within the next 1-2 years while Valentina is still fighting and not 40+ years old, that fight would be amazing... She mixes it up probably as well as anyone male or female, lots of kicks and body shots instead of head hunting.
She’s been fighting since she was four years old. How many of her opponents have been fighting for 20 years. Her kicking technique is remarkable but not surprising given her mother was a world champion kick boxer many times over.
@@MrTermo I'd like to see Dakota against a striker like Rose Namajunas first. (I know Rose isn't the fighter that she used to be back when she was winning against Joana and Weili.) Because Valentina is such an effective counter striker, many of her fights become quite boring, it's just that she's usually fighting for the title which makes the fight worth watching. Valentina would probably just counter against Dakota's attack and manage her for 5 rounds and end up winning on points after finishing a few rounds with a take-down.
Rose 1st rd KO and Valentina will run after tasting the power. DDD will catch her and you will see a KO I’m afraid, I like Valentina like you all do but this girl is an Assassin
@@justinbennitt835 imo she beats Rose, Dakota is too strong and large for a flyweight, her only danger would be rose's jiu jitsu, with Valentina it would be as you say, but i think Dakota can pull it if she doesnt respect Valentina that much, also, she finished Taila Santos something Valentina strugguled a lot to do and at the end she won a split decision that imo she lost by the same gameplan she does just to win points lately in her fights
She not only has looks to kill but a punch that can do the same now that is an amazing woman. Honestly she is gorgeous and she is a very skilled fighter and I am sure we will continue to hear about her as her legend grows as she keeps winning.
Damn, she's like Joanna 2.0. Her Muay Thai is such a treat to watch. And you know a striker is special when they have several body KOs. The way she grew in her ground game and takedowns is also impressiv. She could end up being in GOAT territory one day.
Ngl she’s a beast Holy sh!t she attacks from soo many levels. Officially a fan. Stance switching, multi level attacks, good reach and can clinch what a monster 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
@@snailcage depends on her contract. If she becomes a champion or a marketable contender in the ufc, she will make way more money. Ufc is the pretty much the only combat organization where u can develop your brand worldwide and be set for life. If you're not the in ufc, nobody will ever know who you are (when taking into account the normies and non-mma fans worldwide). Plus you have the whole legacy thing, and proving you're the best in the world. We will see her in the ufc more likely than not.
Statements like these are always concerning, because of that I’m afraid that some promoters would think it’s a good idea to put these female fighters against men in a cage and that would be absolutely fatal.
Thats what Im thinking. If there was ever a wolf in sheeps clothing its her. Am blown away by her talent!! Gonna have to read up on her. Mom and Dad did a great job!

dude that finish at 10:52 was insane. i've never seen someone get destroyed like that on every level. The front leg was crushed, then took a hard liver shot, and then got rocked to the chin. nobody could stay standing from that combination.
That head kick at the end was extra vicious.
I didn't see your post until after I posted mine. Those thigh kicks and combinations were dope
Yeah man. No one is taking that combo. Love dakota she's an absolute savage. So talented. Think she's off to UFC?
This girls got it for sure! The skills and the beauty to become a global superstar, I can see her on movies etc. wish her the best
Agree she has a very bright future ahead of her! Wont be surprised if she stars in many films, she has what it takes!
Fantastic round up of her highlights to this point. Thanks.
Surely, not long until UFC show some interest. She has worked hard to get to level she is at. Wish her every success.
Her distance game is elite plus non telegraph front kicks and straight punches. She's also relentless, keep working till the end. Kudos to her Family too, her bro training with her and for sure mom's fighting genes. 🥰
6:00 Her looks were a gift, but her fighting mastery she´s been increasing and honing for over TWO decades.
true
She's amazing. Can't wait to see her fight again.
Havent enjoyed watching anyone fight since Tyson. Shes got the golden thing going on.
Super proud that she is Bulgarian and carries the flag in her matches. She's insanely good
She was born in England to an English mother and Bulgarian father, she represented Great Britain IFMA.
What a huge star she could become in the UFC wow 🙏
She is going to be a huge star . It doesn’t hurt that she is absolutely stunning the more she gets older . Future is bright..
Why even go to the UFC? She isn't earning a cool million there. I guess maybe with endorsements. But I don't think it's worth it. Unless Dana rolls out the red carpet.
That body is smokin!
@@derekreed4910 You're dull witted if you don't think she'll make millions at UFC
@Allexstrasza You're dull witted if you think fighters can't make more elsewhere. Dana isn't known as being generous.
@@derekreed4910 you're a moron if you think she can even make it to the UFC. its for TOP TIER fighters for a reason.
Dakota "The British Valkyrie" Ditcheva.... I'm def calling her that from now on.
Dana, where u at ?
Dakota "The British Valkyrie" Ditcheva!
The British Valkyrie Dicheva! (I am Bulgarian, but I like the words British Valkyrie).
She is amazing. One of the most accurate strikers I have seen in mma.
She has no competition in the PFL and will never get tru recognition while competing there. The UFC needs to reach into their wallet and sign her. She has the potential to become a superstar. First female British champion.
So true, I mean to be fair she's probably making more than she would at the UFC. But the worldwide recognition from being in the UFC is a different kind of star power
@@magical8013 I'm not even sure if she gets more money in the PFL than in the UFC. The UFC would set her base pay to AT LEAST to what Michael Chandler got, which was $250,000 per fight. With her getting more attention and not having a shady background, she should get some high quality sponsors relatively fast too. She'd make at least $1.5 million a year in the UFC, assuming she fights a minimum of 3 times a year.
@@Pclub4evershe’s not getting chandler money
@@Skadongle Why not?
@@Pclub4ever not as big of a draw. Chandlers second fight in the UFC was a title fight vs oliviera. She’s not having those kinds of fights
Oh shit, she has a Muay Thai background? That speaks for itself. Definitely a good fighter, based on her record. Watching strikers matches are always awesome! Glad to see a solid female striker
You can tell she has a Muay Thai background.
@@H.K.5 The clue might have been the multiple muay thai world championships that she won :) And those kicks. :)
@@malphadour Or her stance and the way she throws her punches/kicks.
@@H.K.5 Yeah she is superb. I think, though i'm not 100%, that I used to pad for her when she was about 8 or 9 - I remember helping coaching with a blonde girl back then who was like lightening with her kicks and I think this is her.
Nearly at the million! I’ve been here since the beginning and you more than deserve the 7 figures Dakota got in her last fight. Awesome work as always, your channel hits above any others out there. 🙌🏼
Just watched all her PFL fights. This girl is something special and she has some of the best striking in womens MMA. Her timing, accuracy, shot selection and technique are levels above. She mixes in brutal body shots when going for the finish and just keeps making girls crumble. On top of all that she's a great talker and looks the part. Those legs.. jeez. Hopefully she makes a move to the UFC in 2025.
No ufc , please . Costs too much money to watch . I watch her for free now !
@@joetamaccio9475 She's fighting bums and nobodies where she's at. Can't be the best female 125er in the world if you don't actually fight the best 125ers. Strikeforce and WEC are pretty much the only promotions that brought a good number of decent fighters to the UFC (which is why the UFC bought them). Since then most people who have success in an mma promotion outside the UFC get stomped when they make the jump.
@@traviss9059 She's 26 years old. Her career is progressing how it should, even if you think all the pro fighters she's beating are "bums". And your final point is ridiculous. Anderson Silva, McGregor, Khabib, Adesanya, Pereira, Jon Jones, Tom Aspinall etc etc all came from other promotions.
Her striking technique is amazing, and shes nice , no arrogance
At first glance she looks like a superfriendly woman that works in a flowershop or at a travel agency and then KABOOM HEADSHOT!
This lady is as sharp as one can be, her kicks make me hurt just watching them. Good video keep it up brother.
Perfectly placed every single time. Shes amazing!
She beat Santos 😱 Throw her in there with Valentina TOMORROW! Can't wait to see her in the UFC!
honestly she's the biggest threat to val right now out of any girl out there
While she was fighting Santos (5'6) I googled Ditcheva height (5'8) and there is no way she has only 2 inch height and reach difference. She seems way taller than most opponents and her limbs also are freakish long, her body frame seems perfect for fighting and she uses it with perfect flow whenever she throws a shot. Not to mention being ambidextrous. Amazing
Valentina too tactical I believe. She’s just gonna wrestle the shit outta her
no way shes getting to the ufc
Lol 2" height difference doesn't translate to two inch reach difference
Another Masterpiece highlighting an amazing athlete! Great Job!
she is a true Russian warrior
@@TheBinaryHappiness Bulgarian/English!!!
lol, she's got *crazy length* with amazingly crisp and fluent striking, with all appendages, to head and especially body...girl is SCARY!
She is a beast. She has an awesome style. Thanks for sharing this.
One word. "Skill." Back to back to back on target shots. One after another. Zero lazy or delays. I call her a very smart fighter. Dangerous. Reminded me of a hammer and a cold chisel on concrete. Impressive
Her confidence, strength, speed, technique, and accuracy is breathtaking to watch. 👊
Yes, 58, been in that (karaté, kick boxing.) since childhood and i've never been so impress like that ! She is perfect.
@@bigblackbearhunter Gotta agree with you, similar background.
Never seen anything like her.
It's not often I actually wince seeing women's MMA striking but Ditcheva has some truly eye-watering body shots. So refreshing to see a striker earn that moniker by doing something else than popping jabs at the head all the time. And by keeping herself lean and mean, Slender Girl gets a punishing height advantage in this weight class. Also: the commentary is just... chef's kiss 😁.
Her reach in general is a tool she uses to the fullest. Amazing fighter.
Beautiful, funny & kicks like a beast?!?! Color me intrigued. Great video as always VS.
amazing combination of intensity, power, speed and precision coming together with grace and elegance!
Excellent documentary, giving me all the info from beginning to now! Wasn't aware of Dakota until your video! Though from all you views she will be a force to deal with. And Hollywood will be calling soon!
Stay away from UFC and go straight to Hollywood. No way she wont succeed .
"Anti cellulite massage" had me laughing out loud 🤣
me too hahahaha
Had me cringing
@@TC-by3ilThat's your whole life.
She held back her kick to the head mid flight when the opponent was on her knees. She has my respect and Im now a fan.
Some fights you think "I'd give it a go, see if i can do anything", but with her I think I would peacefully decline any opportunity 😂
Her strikes and teeps are so brutal. I feel like i could feel it through the screen lol. Instant fan.
she has nasty front kick
Steven Seagal taught her that kick.
She has the physique and dexterity to turn a few of them into question mark kicks. And given the weight on those push kicks, nobody would see them coming.
@@mrkikydam, I’m glad Steven seagull invented Muay thai, oh yeah I forgot to mention Steven is incompetent at fighting
@@Sensei_Frog Yea, he perfected that kick for 10 years after the Dalai Lama proclaimed him a deity. Obviously no human opponent has a chance against that kick because it's not a human kick.
Absolutely devastating front kicks
As an MMA Instructor, Mechanical Engineer, Astronaut, and chess champion, I enjoyed this video.
I am impressed. Her kicks are great. Her knees look vicious. her leg kicks look painful. Her body punches are quality. Her defence looks good enough to keep it on the feet. Her ground game is good enough at this stage in her career. But i am most impressed with her fighting spirit. She gives it 100%. I think we finally have a english girl who can win it all.
also her beauty. all that combined with her skills makes her very marketable
@@movieandtheatrelover5587 very true
Her striking is super impressive. Not often I toss out that compliment. I miss female fighters with that drive that Joanna once brought. This makes me even more excited for Dakota... She actually WANTS to be here.
She's good... A tough puncher!👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
If the rumors are true than I’m super exited to see what she’ll do in the UFC in 2025. Shevchenko Vs Ditcheva is a monster match up.
She’s my favorite female fighter across all promotions hands down! 👊🏻🔥
She already is a superstar…amazing fighter.
She acts like it's a way of life ,she has no fear ,no questioning ,focused ,on every move ,she's what u call a real fighter and has fun while she's doin it.she could be a great role model for the younger.other opponents don't know what to think .underestimated .u go girl,stay focused
I'm super impressed with this woman warrior! Her strikes are so accurate and with great form. I hope we see her in some action movies.
At the start I was like “oh cool yet another striker that’ll go 6-0 and then 0-6 after she finds out wrestling exists.” Instead, I’m eating my words and I’m going to go through the PFL catalogue this week.
Muay Thai is the best. Wrestling and grappling are all too limited and have to get close to opponent and have to go to grown. Muay Thai can do damage far away and midway and up close.
@@youaregoingtolovethisClearly you’re a fan who’s never practiced MMA. A quality wrestler or Jiu Jitsu practitioner can close the distance in less than a second & take down a stand up fighter. Ditcheva would still be fighting Muay Thai rather than MMA if she were not also working on wrestling, grappling & Jiu Jitsu. Without a ground game in MMA a fighter would get taken down quick, exposed quick & never make it out of the 1st round.
She beat Talia Santos who took Valentina Shevchenko to deep waters and went to a split decision
@@kenwahldhlamini8102 That’s what convinced me she was actually special. It did seem like in her scrambles to get up her back tended to be exposed it just wasn’t capitalized on by her opponents. So long as she continues to develop in her ground game I would expect her unbeaten streak to continue for a long time.
She's the BEST female striker and choker I've ever seen, ...her flowing technique is superb.
.....untill she meets higher ranked...
Is the flowing thing a joke?
I hope so cause I laughed😅
@TPhoenixt weed is fun eh?
@@TPhoenixtshe would flow you right on the mat!
Female, yes.
She comes in like a wrecking ball... and mixes in body strikes like an absolute champ 👏👏👏
I see similarities to Johnny Bones
@@Simon-xi8tbexactly thank you I said it on my previous comment she's bones female version, wicked and Vicious elbow,kick but she punch harder than bones and let say bones got a little patience but this girls ain't got none . She's fucking dangerous
WOW just WOW!!! Dakota Ditcheva is VICIOUS, Laser Focused, Awesome Offence & Defense, Has the ability switch to Southpaw at anytime, Quick Hands with Power and Pinpoint Accuracy, Relentless and Dangerous/Vicious Kicking, Elbows & Knee Game, Elusive Ground Game! She is also Beautiful with a Great Personality! She already is the GOAT IMHO! UFC better get an open cheque book out ASAP! The BEST Women's MMA Fighter I have ever seen barre none!!!
I really hope she goes to the UFC within the next 1-2 years while Valentina is still fighting and not 40+ years old, that fight would be amazing... She mixes it up probably as well as anyone male or female, lots of kicks and body shots instead of head hunting.
probably what this girl is waiting for
OMGoodness! What a wonderful, talented, gorgeous phenomenon... I'll be watching her in as many fights as possible. WOWSER!
Give the author of these scripts a bonus, it's hilarious, lmao
So true
More tenacious than a jehova witness 😂
Deporting her opponents back to OnlyFans 😂
Indeed!
Most complete fighter I've ever seen in women's MMA 👍👍
She’s been fighting since she was four years old. How many of her opponents have been fighting for 20 years. Her kicking technique is remarkable but not surprising given her mother was a world champion kick boxer many times over.
imagine Dakota vs Shevchenko, if Dakota can deny Shevchenko's ground game she can absolutley be a threat to Shevchenko's muhay thai
being tall with long limbs and the opponents are way shorter plus the leverage that gives her...shes a good fighter for sure
@@MrTermo I'd like to see Dakota against a striker like Rose Namajunas first. (I know Rose isn't the fighter that she used to be back when she was winning against Joana and Weili.)
Because Valentina is such an effective counter striker, many of her fights become quite boring, it's just that she's usually fighting for the title which makes the fight worth watching.
Valentina would probably just counter against Dakota's attack and manage her for 5 rounds and end up winning on points after finishing a few rounds with a take-down.
Rose 1st rd KO and Valentina will run after tasting the power. DDD will catch her and you will see a KO I’m afraid, I like Valentina like you all do but this girl is an Assassin
@@justinbennitt835 imo she beats Rose, Dakota is too strong and large for a flyweight, her only danger would be rose's jiu jitsu, with Valentina it would be as you say, but i think Dakota can pull it if she doesnt respect Valentina that much, also, she finished Taila Santos something Valentina strugguled a lot to do and at the end she won a split decision that imo she lost by the same gameplan she does just to win points lately in her fights
She not only has looks to kill but a punch that can do the same now that is an amazing woman. Honestly she is gorgeous and she is a very skilled fighter and I am sure we will continue to hear about her as her legend grows as she keeps winning.
Damn, she's like Joanna 2.0. Her Muay Thai is such a treat to watch. And you know a striker is special when they have several body KOs. The way she grew in her ground game and takedowns is also impressiv. She could end up being in GOAT territory one day.
I can't wait for when she meets her match. Every athlete always does. The rivalry is going to be sweet.
Damn! Those kicks 😮
Best front kick I’ve ever seen in MMA since Anderson Silva. Pretty sure she’ll be in the UFC soon.
I was thinking the same as she gets so much torque and drive through the hip it makes me eyes water.
Ngl she’s a beast
Holy sh!t she attacks from soo many levels. Officially a fan. Stance switching, multi level attacks, good reach and can clinch what a monster 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
She was born this way, can't hate her for using her natural strengths.
2:14 oh boy her self control is crazy
Saved herself more headache than her opponent might have suffered just then, didn't she?
Great insight into her personality. I've got so much respect for her after seeing that.
Was just going to post that, but also her compassion.
@integrativenaturalmedicine3897 I think that's what he meant. He didn't say body control. He said self control.
Man... She was ready to strike tho...
Holy shit that 6-pack she's rocking is SUPREME
gum cutters
dudes never seen the average female fighter I guess
Would love to see her in the UFC. Woman got some serious power and speed
Doubt the UFC is gonna offer her $1 million per year which would be less than she’s currently making.
I don’t think she will. PFL is paying her way more money vs what she would get in UFC
@@snailcage which is based by PFL fr
Sure she is desperate for that 12 and 12 UFC contract.
@@snailcage depends on her contract. If she becomes a champion or a marketable contender in the ufc, she will make way more money. Ufc is the pretty much the only combat organization where u can develop your brand worldwide and be set for life. If you're not the in ufc, nobody will ever know who you are (when taking into account the normies and non-mma fans worldwide). Plus you have the whole legacy thing, and proving you're the best in the world. We will see her in the ufc more likely than not.
reminds me of alex perera with the torque and kicks...deadly!
her straight kicks are killer. What a talent ! Can't wait to see her in the ufc
Turning on those check liver lights....
Savage...
First lady in MMA, whose coordination and striking technical impress me more than I have seen, since Remy Bonjasky
"harder than men" I'm out😂
Statements like these are always concerning, because of that I’m afraid that some promoters would think it’s a good idea to put these female fighters against men in a cage and that would be absolutely fatal.
@@mirvzdnbwhy ANY woman would put themselves in that position is beyond me.but in a self defense situation that would be something to see
They said the same thing about Ronda Rousey, how that turned out? 😂
@CornerofFifthandWard My comment exactly. Stop telling women they are stronger than men. Like Rousey, they believe it, and it NEVER ends well.
Media still insist on masculinize women.
This lady has some real sting to her shots and works the body extremely well, those knees are brutal, impressive talent.
Imagine, she's in a bar and the guy can't take no for an answer? 😵
Thats what Im thinking. If there was ever a wolf in sheeps clothing its her.
Am blown away by her talent!! Gonna have to read up on her.
Mom and Dad did a great job!
She’s fighting people in her weight class. Real fights are much different than sport
@@buttered__toast_2899 search for the surveillance cam video of a kick box russian women fighter, drooping a rude man almost 2 times her size at the entrance of a nightclub. If i remember good, she was in a white dress and heels, see for yourself what technique and surprize attack can do to a 6 ft plus man.
That’s not how streetfights work. She’s a killer in her weight class, but fighting a 200 pound dude would end badly for her no matter what.
She would get KOd by a man.
