PFL 10 Odds Favor Dakota Ditcheva

Dakota Ditcheva is seen as the favorite in the PFL 10 co-main event, which is no surprise given that she’s 13-0 overall. Eleven of those wins happened by knockout/technical knockout, which is a testament to her striking prowess. She’s a former world champion in Muay Thai, who’s famous for her incredible kickboxing skills.

Since switching to mixed martial arts, she’s added several other fighting skills to her portfolio, including grappling and wrestling. This is why you shouldn’t be surprised that she also has one win by submission in her pro career.

She’s also been using her grappling skills for defense against prolific Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experts such as Jena Bishop whom she defeated by a TKO last August in the semifinal of the 2024 PFL tournament.

Can Talia Santos Derail the Dakota Ditcheva Hype Train?

Dakota Ditcheva is hyped as the next big thing in women’s MMA. She’s one of the most valuable assets the PFL has in 2024, and that’s for a reason – she’s a hell of a fighter. But the thing is that she still hasn’t fought against an elite opponent such as Talia Santos.

The Brazilian fighter is 22-3 overall with all of her losses happening by decision. They happened against really formidable opponents. For example, Santos lost to Valentina Shevchenko by a controversial split decision in the fight for the UFC gold.

She lost to the “Bullet”, but we did see her beat some other UFC stars, including “Meatball” Molly McCann, Joanne Wood, and others.

With such an amazing CV, she looks like someone who could ruin Ditcheva’s plans on November 29. But will she actually do it?

Dakota Ditcheva vs. Talia Santos Prediction

Dakota Ditcheva has never fought against such a well-rounded opponent as Talia Santos. Meanwhile, Santos does have experience against prolific strikers.

She gave real war to Valentina Shevchenko, but also defeated Joanne Wood, who sits at the top of the list of UFC Women’s Flyweights by the total number of strikes landed with 1,043. For all these reasons, we do think she’s got what it takes to upset the PFL 10 odds on November 29.

Pick: Talia Santos
