Ditcheva aims to extend undefeated streak

Ditcheva, making her Dubai debut, last fought in July 2025, defeating Sumiko Inaba despite suffering a broken hand. Known for her Muay Thai background, she boasts 13 finishes in 15 professional fights and is a former PFL Europe and PFL World Tournament champion. Her combination of striking and finishing ability makes her a dangerous opponent for anyone in the flyweight division.

Kielholtz brings her decorated kickboxing pedigree into the cage, holding a black belt in Judo. The Dutch fighter has 14 wins in striking-heavy bouts and aims to hand Ditcheva her first professional defeat. Fans can expect a fast-paced, technical showdown between two of the most dynamic female fighters in the sport.
