The PFL Europe Playoffs in Paris takes place on Saturday September 30 and features two red-hot Swedish fighters.
Swedish veteran Cornelia Holm (6-5) will take on undefeated rising star Dakota Ditcheva (8-0) in a flyweight semifinal.
Holm comes from a split decision win against the tough Marta Waliczek and is certain that she got what it takes to get Ditcheva her first defeat.
“She never faced anyone who’s as strong as me and so good all around. Definitely no one who’s such a good wrestler as me,” Holm recently told Frontkick.
