Dakota Ditcheva on signing with PFL, Aug. 20 fight and training at American Top Team
Interview with Dakota Ditcheva above
Dakota Ditcheva (5-0) discusses her flyweight fight against Hassna Gaber (4-1) at PFL 9 on Aug. 20. Dakota also spoke about her decision to sign with PFL, what her contract entails and why she settled on American Top Team for her training camp.
“I’m waking in the morning, the sun is shining, so I’m ready to get out of bed. Whereas back home in Manchester, it’s raining, you don’t really want to get up in the morning. So that played a big part. Before I came away to the States, I was in crazy place at home, like I was a bit unsettled. Coming out here being so focused in camp, I kind of thought with 3-4 weeks left do I really want to go back home and be unsettled? Or do I want to finish my camp here. I feel in a really good space here. I don’t have to work and teach, so I can focus on myself which is a big thing.”
