PFL World Championship post-fight show: Reaction to Dakota Ditcheva’s destruction of Taila Santos

Dakota Ditcheva delivered a star-making performance at the PFL World Championship in her toughest test to date as she demolished one-time UFC women’s flyweight title challenger Taila Santos from pillar-to-post until putting her away with a nasty body shot. With the win, is Ditcheva now a top-five — or better — fighter in the world at 125 pounds?

Following Friday’s annual millionaire-making extravaganza, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the over nine-hour fight card, the main card delivering, the six new $1 million champions crowned, and more. Additionally, they discuss what Ditcheva’s victory means for her future, where she ranks in the division and pound-for-pound in women’s MMA, how the PFL should use Ditcheva in 2024, when she could fight for the UFC, other standout performances from Saudi Arabia, and more.
