Watch Dakota Ditcheva’s brutal body shot knockout of Taila Santos in slo-mo
The only thing more teeth clinching than a brutal body shot finish in mixed martial arts might be seeing it in super slow motion.
On Friday, Dakota Ditcheva delivered a star-making performance at the PFL World Championship card in Saudi Arabia. Ditcheva faced one-time UFC title challenger Taila Santos in the co-main event for the $1 million women’s flyweight season championship, and the American Top Team standout absolutely ran over her toughest test to date en route to a second-round body shot knockout victory.
Check out the slo-mo of the finishing sequence below.

The 26-year-old improved her pro MMA record to 14-0 with the victory, while moving her PFL record to 9-0. “Dangerous” earned her spot in the finals with three consecutive first-round stoppages of Lisa Mauldin, Chelsea Hackett, and Jena Bishop before coming through with one of the promotion’s most eye-opening performances of the year when it mattered most.
