Dakota Ditcheva frustrated as PFL fails to find her a fight

'I wanna fight' ... Dakota Ditcheva begs for PFL to put 'anything' together

Speaking with MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn, Ditcheva expressed discontent with PFL's decision to keep her on ice. The PFL women's flyweight tournament is already approaching its semifinals, and Ditcheva was never a part of it.

"It's testing me for sure," Ditcheva admitted. ". . . Seeing everybody train for this tournament it was really disheartening for me. . . . I'm in contract and you guys [PFL] have to offer me fights. . . . I'll trust that they bring something for me."

Ditcheva joins a host of fighters, including Francis Ngannou, Corey Anderson, and Patchy Mix, who find themselves without any fight news.

PFL founder Donn Davis responds to fan backlash

PFL Chairman and founder Donn Davis snubbed fan complaints of fighters staying inactive.

"Nobody HAS to be here," Davis wrote on Twitter. "PFL provides the ONLY premium global lasting platform for fighters other than the UFC. Countless others have come and gone, because they are not serious people..."

IF PFL contracts operate in the same way UFC and ONE contracts do, then the promotion is obligated to offer two to three fights a year, typically on a six month basis. Fighters like Ditcheva, Anderson, and Mix are entitled to fight.

Although, ONE Championship's contracts are predatory in the fact they extend the fighter's contract if a fight is delayed for any reason. They can also extend fighter contracts by four fights or 24 months if a fighter becomes champion.

There is hope yet, with former PFL-Bellator champion Patricio Pitbull hopping ship to the UFC at UFC 314.
