The story of MMA's rising star of 2024, PFL fighter Ditcheva, who went from a promising prospect to a world champion in a single year.
Every year, the sport of mixed martial arts gives us a handful of fighters who appear from out of nowhere, breaking through to new competitive heights and fame. Whether it is a well-traveled veterandid in COVID-stricken 2020, those breakthroughs are a reminder of the wonderful unpredictability of mixed martial arts , a challenge to our assumptions as fans and an inspiration to the next year’s crop of would-be superstars.
What makes Ditcheva’s year even more impressive is that the caliber of her opponents kept rising, but Ditcheva continued to obliterate them as if it wasn’t. Her first two victims of the year,, who faced Ditcheva in the playoff semifinals, was a clear step up. Moreover, as a burly grappler from an outstanding camp in Alliance MMA, Bishop was the exact kind of stylistic foil that a rising striking star such as Ditcheva needs to face in order to silence the doubters.
