2022 PFL Championships video: Dakota Ditcheva showcases brutal power with flattening knockout of Katherine Corogenes

Dakota Ditcheva is proving to be a good investment for the PFL.

At the 2022 PFL Championships, Ditcheva (7-0) slugged opponent Katherine Corogenes (2-1) into unconsciousness with a brutal knockout at the 4:20 mark of Round 1. The flyweight fight took place at Hulu Theater in New York as part of the prelims.

Much like her promotional debut in August (a 58-second knockout win), Ditcheva utilized her clinch early. Although initially successful in her defense in the clinch, Corogenes ate a big knee upon the break. Ditcheva pursued and threw a violent multipunch combination that floored Corogenes and finished the fight with a standing hammerfist.

Ditcheva, 24, signed a multi-fight deal with the PFL earlier this year despite the promotion not having women’s flyweight as a featured weight class. In seven pro fights, Ditcheva has six finishes.

Up-to-the-minute 2022 PFL Championships results include:

  • Dakota Ditcheva def. Katherine Corogenes via knockout (punches) – Round 1, 4:20
  • Biaggio Ali Walsh def. Tom Graesser via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 0:45
