Dakota Ditcheva scored a stunning victory over Taila Santos in the PFL World Championship Finals, bagging the women's flyweight title and the $1 million prize in the process.

Ditcheva delivered a masterful performance to halt Santos in the second round following a vicious onslaught.

In the opening round of their Riyadh clash, Ditcheva landed a slew of leg-kicks, prompting Santos to grapple, which her opponent reversed.

However, the Brazilian eventually landed a takedown but the Manchester fighter popped straight back to her feet.

Before the end of the first round, Ditcheva appeared to stun the former UFC veteran with a front-kick.

In the second round, Ditcheva continued to dominate the striking exchanges. She landed another successful front kick before piecing her up against the cage.

Ditcheva then stopped Santos after a series of stinging strikes to the body.



The 26-year-old star beat Lisa Mauldin, Chelsea Hackett, Jena Bishop and, of course, Santos en route to becoming the PFL women's flyweight champion.

She not only bags the PFL women's flyweight world title but also the $1 million prize.

Ditcheva also improved her professional MMA record to a perfect 14-0 following her latest victory.

Speaking to Dan Hardy in the cage after registering the biggest victory of her budding career, she called for a homecoming fight in Manchester.

She also took aim at Santos, saying: "They've been talking, 'she's just a Barbie, she should be a model'. Well, a model just beat your ass in round two, so shut up!"
