PFL Announces 2025 Women's Flyweight Tournament Roster, Excludes Dakota Ditcheva

The Professional Fighters League (PFL) announced the roster for its 2025 women's flyweight tournament, which notably excludes 2024 champion Dakota Ditcheva. The tournament features eight fighters, including former champions Liz Carmouche and Juliana Velasquez, as well as notable competitors like Taila Santos and Kana Watanabe. Ditcheva, who had a dominant 2024 season where she claimed the championship, will instead participate in the PFL Champions Series, as confirmed by co-founder Donn Davis. The tournament will kick off on April 11, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, with the winner set to receive a $1 million prize. This new tournament format replaces the previous season structure, creating a knockout-style competition. Matchups for the tournament will be revealed on March 11.
