I agree- Dakota would\will kick her ass imho and I have following UFC men and woman since the beginning. I do agree I wouldn't call her the best until she beats someone like Schvchnko or GRasse or someone like that,
How can you think Grasso or Blanchfield would be a problem for her?? Tbh I’m pretty sure she would smoke Manon and Valentina, she’s really big, she has the reach et she has POWER!! I think UFC needs to sign her asap!! She will be a problem at 125 and 135 as well
Ms. Ditcheva first began competing in martial arts at the age of 4. By this time, her movements in the cage are so second nature that they're no different to her than walking. I was a wrestling official in all three styles and I can tell you that the athletes we would see on the podium at the high school tournament were well known to the officials and fans because we'd been seeing them year around wrestling mats in at least folk style and freestyle open tournaments from the time they were in the second or third grade. As the saying goes ... "He who hesitates is lost". If you have to stop and think about whether that opening for a kick or punch is there, it's too late to throw it anyway. Dakota has definitely reached that point where she doesn't think about what to do, she just does it. While that might not make her completely unbeatable, whoever does so will have earned that victory.
Having a mother who was a world champion likely gives you a baseline genetic advantage. Add to that high quality training from the age of 4 and you have a big head-start over most competitors. Add to that a strong family support network, a world-class coaching team, a strong work ethic and a stable personality and you've created a monster...
She’s without question the best flyweight in the world. No doubt she’ll dominate any fighter in UFC. She should do it just to shut these dudes up while the PFL scours the planet for someone who can challenge her
I feel that Dakota is the real deal. She has excellent fighting skills, is always pushing herself to work hard and improve her skills, does her homework on her opponents before the matches and respects her opponents. Then she goes into the cage and delivers. Dakota, herself, rated herself in the top 10 in the UFC, not the top 5. She knows she can improve, and that her UFC opponents will bring their "A" game to the fight.

She is also an incredible athlete, her physique is absolutely perfection for the style she uses, crazy range with hands and feet
My guy 02:56 Manon Fiorot would be the most durable but Valentina would be a coin flip although Dakota's reach is a huge advantage here. But Erin Blanchfield and Alexa Grasso ? You gotta be high or something at this point lol
The guy bottom left says "best in the world is a stretch". Is this guy watching to same Dakota as I am? IMHO, the current heavy hitters would do well to stay clear of Dakota. Unless they like being punched in the face while at the same time eating knees to the guts. Dakota is legit.
C'mon dude! DD would run right through Grasso! Her, going to UFC is inevitable, and a win win for Dana. She is on her way to become the next big superstar! She kinda reminds me of how I felt, back in the day, when I watched Mike Tyson for the first time!
Obviously there’s no way of knowing for certain if Ditcheva would defeat some of the top female UFC flyweight fighters they mentioned, until she fights them. That being said, there’s no doubt in my mind Ditcheva has the ability to beat them. She is DANGEROUS! She’s the best female striker I’ve ever seen. She throws powerful punches and kicks with surgical precision, is a solid grappler and her knees are insane.
I commonly see fight predictors confuse "Stage" with "actual experience". Too often critics overhype UFC experience as if its the biggest thing on the planet. UFC is a US marketing giant. They manipulate the airwaves and every aspect of MMA commercialism. Remember, D.white came up in boxing promotions. He knows the promotion game. However on their best day they will never fill the Tokyo dome (40k+ seating) which Pride did on the regular! UFC is just a fight sport puffer fish. If you study thier history, in nearly every instance when fighters from another federation enter the UFC, they destroy the thier top fighters (minus that Ben Assgrin clown). UFC has a history of buying up top fighters from other promotions, and rather than pitting them against their in-house equals to really see who is best, sidelining them (Anthony Pettis) while playing chess with current roster candidates until their money pot starts to run dry and the newbies are rusted and off their game (Chuck & Wanderlie). Then, diluting their performance through trash matchups and reality TV. UFC picks their champions in advance based off who plays to their politics and commercialism, NOT off who is the actual best fighters. If the "best" fighters, also play the "entertainment" game, and don't make demands, they stand a chance. Otherwise, they just die on the vine. If a federation spawns too many great fighters they buy the federation or poison the well so no one can drink killing the federation leaving top fighters unemployed and needing a job versus sitting on top of the world and having bargaining power. This allows the UFC to set the terms and the fighters to lose on every front outside the cage. All the moves they make give the common social fan the perception they are the big show which is true, if you like pro wrestling. They are a front and should honestly change their name to the Ultimate Entertainment Championships, because fighting is third on their priority list. Id rank Dakota world top 10, #1 flyweight any day of the week! She is a seasoned worldclass fighter and skilled far beyond legions of UFC top fems. With her skillset she has a mother who was a kickboxing champion and knows both sides of the game, a strong family based team (like One Championships Lee family), shes now partnered with ATT so deepening the training and experience pool further! All topped off with a strong, mature mindset with laser focused on what matters. And she's just getting started!
DDD is the best, was telling everybody through PFL, took them some time to wake up, but now most are converts, but some of you at UFC might have to lose one million to get the message, makes it all the more sweet.
Serrano would get finished quickly, but you’re actually onto something. Serrano is signed to the PFL currently, and Dakota is open to doing super fights next year so it could happen. Serrano is a big enough name in boxing for the fight to sell, and I think it could be a good way to hype Dakota when she finishes Serrano. Dakota should fight Carmouche first and take the Bellator belt, and then close off the year with a Serrano fight before going to the UFC.
My thoughts... Dakota is the face of PFL right now and the foreseeable future... she likes it there and they're not going to let her go !!! I see them keeping her VERY happy... she's business savvy, so it will take a LOT for her to leave... and I don't think it will be money or fame... it will be time to go, they have nothing left to give her. PFL "could" make themselves a women league and UFC/MMA will go the them ??? I do,no just say,n...
Just rewatched a number of Grasso fights. I'd be backing DDD. Dakota has a big advantage in reach. Her kickboxing is on a different level. Her boxing technique and control of distance is somewhat better, I feel. Same for her takedown defence. Grasso might hold the advantage for submission potential - Dakota is working hard on that side of her game but it's not her strong point. I'd be betting on DDD taking out Grasso with body shots in round 2.
Savannah Marshall one of the best female boxers in the world, rates DDD very high and said she would do well if she switched to boxing, so it's hard to see anybody in the UFC getting the better of her when it comes to striking , and there is some talk about her doing crossover fights, she said probably yes if the money was right - A Serrano is signed to the PFL, you would expect Dakota Ditcheva to be the favourite in MMA, and A Serrano in boxing, but that could generate a lot of money in a two fight deal, probably the biggest in female PFL/UFC history - Britain against the US is always a big pay day.
DDD will beat them all within the distance. I like Silva but she is built for DDD will not get near her. Shevchenko will go the longest as she will work out a way to run in the rounds to stay in the fight. Fact she is bigger,quicker,stronger and has those nasty knees. She reads and changes chance as the fight goes on just like Shevchenko. Call me mad but it will happen, She is a game changer.
The guy in the hat picking Grasso over Ditcheva is insane. LOL
Right! He is insane 😅
Dudes wild
I agree- Dakota would\will kick her ass imho and I have following UFC men and woman since the beginning. I do agree I wouldn't call her the best until she beats someone like Schvchnko or GRasse or someone like that,
Dakota Ditcheva
There’s no way Grasso would beat Dakota.
Dakota is going to change the game!
I agree 100% JUst an old combat vet from Florida!
DAKOTA WOULD RUN THROUGH BOTH THE 135 AND 125 LB UFC ROSTER
Kayla will ragdoll her badly she is too big for her
Kayla Harrison would throw her out of the cage
She’s the real deal. Can’t wait to hear what her opponents say about her when they find out for
REAL.

Manon and Valentina are opponents are interesting.
But Grasso & Blanchfield are simply no match for her

I would like to see 3D fight Manon Fiorot next.

Dakota hits and kicks as hard as most men
"We have to see if she has consistency" 14-0 destroying everyone she has faced, sounds pretty consistent to me.
DDD is the best, was telling everybody through PFL, took them some time to wake up, but now most are converts, but some of you at UFC might have to lose one million to get the message, makes it all the more sweet.
Amanda Serrano vs Ditcheva needs to happen … Serrano is undefeated is MMA.

You people need to look at the inability of all these ufc jokers to end the fights.

She's not #1 yet, not even close, but she might very well take that spot in the next couple of years if she keeps this level up.
No ufc chick is better than her. Prime valentina would be a great fight, but ufc females couldn't do what she did to Talia Santos
Best I've ever seen
Well ranking rise shes currently ranked 11 in womens pound for pound mma.
Who cares what these guys say anyway.........................NO ONE KNOWS...................But I would bet on her.........Dakota!
One quality win and an untested ground game. Too early.
Nope. Santos got destroyed. Nobody in the ufc every did that to her. Dakota is something special.
Bunch of ignorances
