- Dakota is making waves in the flyweight division
- Her frustrations lie beyond the octagon
- Ditcheva aspires to build a successful career
British MMA prospect Dakota Ditcheva is making waves in the flyweight division with a near-perfect record (10 wins, 1 loss). However, her frustrations lie beyond the octagon.
Ditcheva criticizes the tradition of female fighters weighing in scantily clad, highlighting the unequal focus on appearance compared to male fighters.
“It’s disappointing that the most viewed video on my social media isn’t related to my skills or fight highlights,” says Ditcheva, referencing a clip of her weigh-in. “It’s something I, unfortunately, have to accept for now, but I hope things change in the future.”
Ditcheva aspires to build a successful career based on her athleticism and fighting prowess.
She emphasizes the contradiction between her aspirations and the current culture that prioritizes views on videos that don’t showcase her true talents.
