Dakota Ditcheva is back.
The undefeated flyweight star has booked her next fight as she faces Bellator veteran Denise Kielholtz at the upcoming PFL card in Dubai on Feb. 7.
PFL officials announced the matchup on Monday.
A winner of the PFL Europe tournament and then repeating that performance during the PFL regular season, Ditcheva has become one of the fastest rising stars on the promotion’s roster.
A devastating striker with serious finishing power, Ditcheva scored nine finishes in a row in the PFL
before going to decision with Sumiko Inaba in her most recent performance. That fight saw Ditcheva suffer a broken hand, which forced her to take time off until booking her return in early 2026.
As for Kielholtz, she returns to action for the first time since 2023 when she earned a decision win of her own over Inaba after beating Paula Cristina to end a three-fight losing streak. While she was competing in Bellator, Kielholtz also won the flyweight kickboxing title and defended the belt before turning her attention back to MMA.
Ditcheva vs. Kielholtz joins a growing lineup headed to Dubai in February with PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov defending his title against Alfie Davis in the main event.
