Dakota Ditcheva opens up on unexpected boos following PFL victory

Dakota Ditcheva won a unanimous decision over Denise Kielholtz at UBS Arena in Belmont, New York, and parts of the crowd booed, which she addressed afterward. The Professional Fighters League bout followed a year-long injury layoff for the betting favorite, who had seven prior first-round stoppage wins in the PFL. At the post-fight press conference, Ditcheva said the reaction bothered her but emphasized that securing victory comes first. She noted she aims to entertain yet will choose tactics that achieve the result on the night. Ditcheva added that completing three rounds provided needed cage time and pleased her coaches.
