I admire the respect that Dakota gives Valentina. I just started watching Dakota and she’s definitely going to be the next Valentina. She can do it all like Valentina, but her knees are what impressed me the most…Deadly!
@ Do you think that’s enough for her to be considered being the best flyweight in the world over what Valentina has already accomplished as a complete MMA fighter and champion?
@deepthoughts1739 I'm just saying she has shown some knowledge. I'm not saying she has fully and she has said in interviews she's working on it. However she has shown to be able to get up from takedowns and stuff them so that's impressive to some degree
Dakota is UFC level. One of the few women fighters that I actually enjoy watching compete. Always in fun fights and just finished a former title contender in style.
Santos did not look the same she looked against Valentina. She is way bigger than the Bullet, was weight bullying her basically the entire fight, and Valentina literally broke her face. I think they got a good offer from PFL and thought she had more chances there to become a champ. Now she has a champ there, who is not only way bigger than her but also has some real knock out power.
@@jamespaul6315 you acting like an immature clown is not gonna help your argument. Cheating implies purpose, and that headbutt was a simple accident that happens in MMA over and over again. So don't try to imply something that isn't there. And about Dakota vs. Valentina. Dakota's boxing is not there yet. It's not even close. Unless she can catch Valentina with a good shot and take her lights out, I don't see her winning. Maybe she can weight bully her to the ground and win this way, but I guess we will never know, so it's a pointless nonsense from your side, as your entire comment…
@ it was purposeful. She was losing, headbutted her, and wham she suddenly takes over. And even with the headbutt valentina arguably lost that fight. If she had to cheat to beat santos, dakota starches her.
Santos has a crush on you. You can't tell? Respectfully, the Santos you fought was not the same Taila that Valentina fought. That said, you are the best flyweight in the world, bar none. Alycia Baumgardner is your super fight. Dakota pronounces Santos as Santoss. Too cute.
She’s definitely not the best flyweight in the world. I don’t know how people can try to ignore Valentina’s accomplishments and say she’s better. She knows that Valentina is the best.
@@deepthoughts1739Valentina was lucky to beat Santos , Dakota destroyed Santos and she will destroy Valentino , what you did last year or the year before isn’t important
Valentina is-old and slow , she was lucky to get the decision against Santos, Dakota beat the crap out of Santos within two rounds without breaking sweat, I think she will destroy Valentina
She has one submission win, and no one was really able to take her down and keep her on her back. Her striking and range makes it very difficult to time a takedown on her. She has decent cage wrestling, always fighting for her underhooks, and has a good Muay Thai clinch. She’s also at American Top Team, one of the most prestigious camps in the world, so she’s definitely working on her weak points.
Her takedown defense is solid and she defended multiple takedowns from Talia Santos who took down and controlled Valentina and took her to a split decision.
All hype? I guess she missed all barbie's matches. how could anyone miss the precision strikes? After watching one fight I'm sure she would knock me out in round 1. I would keep my mouth shut.

only difference is dakota has power 12 kos out of 14 fights is crazy for a female fighter!
She hasn’t shown to be able to do it all yet. She’s still has more improvement to showcase as a grappler and her with her ground game.
@deepthoughts1739 well in 1 or 2 fights she has shown some grappling and ground game. She has 1 submission over 1 opponent

This guy appears to be very healthy, and I dont find his voice insufferable! Please, more Damon Martin intervews the fans just cant get enough!
😆 my dudes still eating the mic
Literally sounds like he has the microphone in his mouth
Dakota is UFC level. One of the few women fighters that I actually enjoy watching compete. Always in fun fights and just finished a former title contender in style.
There is at least 1 other fighter that she beat in the amatuers that now competes in ufc namely shauna bannon
Saying that she is at the UFC level is a slap in the face of her skills.
Your initial statement should/could be erased/reversed. Is the UFC ready for Dakota should be the question.
@@walterbell2763 absolutely nobody knows who she is, she needs the ufc not the other way around
She's the super fight fighter Dana was talking about
when did he say this

Valentina headbutted her and was losing that fight until the illegal shot
@@jamespaul6315 sure, sure, whatever makes you sleep at night, casual.
@ dont be mad valentina had to cheat. Dakota would tune valentina up

Dakota and Maycee Barber are on a collision course for the title down the line. I know who my money's on!
Hopefully she gets into the UFC
From a spectator's point of view, what a talent!🥊

Great content
Great fighter and great person Dakota is!!
Dakota FTW every time!
I hope the PFL can provide dakota high level opponents so she stays in PFL. UFC can wait.
Not much competition left for her in PFL, needs to go to UFC in 2026 after hopefully a Manchester event in 2025
Class act.
Valentina is-old and slow , she was lucky to get the decision against Santos, Dakota beat the crap out of Santos within two rounds without breaking sweat, I think she will destroy Valentina
Dakota Ditcheva vs Zhang Weili.
Have Zhang move up in weight.
😈
Haven't seen her fights yet but I've seen her record 😮, can she grapple?
She has one submission win, and no one was really able to take her down and keep her on her back. Her striking and range makes it very difficult to time a takedown on her. She has decent cage wrestling, always fighting for her underhooks, and has a good Muay Thai clinch.

Not as well as she strikes but she's no pushover. She does have 1 submission win.
Her takedown defense is solid and she defended multiple takedowns from Talia Santos who took down and controlled Valentina and took her to a split decision.
Big time MMA skills and DAMN good looking as well. What a babe.
Oh my god I thought this was Lily Philips
Dakota's 14-0 not 100-0
Someone please read these comments and tells this dude to stop putting his whole mouth on the mic.
I know this goofball didn't just call Talia sexist. FOH bro.
The Barbie and model comment was tacky and corny af. Badass combat athlete but that was not it.
All hype? I guess she missed all barbie's matches. how could anyone miss the precision strikes? After watching one fight I'm sure she would knock me out in round 1. I would keep my mouth shut.
