After the 26 -year -old historic victory over Tela Santos in the PFL flyweight final – a Golden Win in 2024 – that was all the pace.
The female MMA icon, including Amanda Nuns, Chryce Siborg and Joanna Zadeczik, was congratulated, but the story will soon develop.

“Obviously, it has become difficult with me with him walking through him last year,” Dichwa told the BBC Sport.
“It’s certainly disappointing. I did so well last year – I fought in the cage four times and of course the last one was big and attracted a lot of attention, but now I felt as if I felt like my speed had fallen.
“The Santos Division was the top girl and the fact that I went so easily through her, there is another thing that made so difficult this year. [the PFL] I did not know in which direction I had been put. ,
