PFL New York results: Dakota Ditcheva sweeps Denise Kielholtz in return
Dakota Ditcheva was back in action Friday – and back in the win column. In the PFL New York co-main event, Ditcheva (16-0) defeated Denise Kielholtz (9-6) by unanimous decision. The event took place at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y. The fight marked Ditcheva's first since July 2025 when she defeated Sumiko Inaba by unanimous decision. Friday's three-round flyweight bout saw Ditcheva in the driver's seat from beginning to end, obtaining more and more of the wheel as she drove. Kielholtz was competitive early on despite being a humongous underdog. But the momentum really shifted in Ditcheva's favor after she escaped a brief submission attempt by Kielholtz. As the fight progressed, the Long Island boo birds made themselves heard. Ditcheva swept the judges' scorecards but was not interviewed on the broadcast post-fight.
