Dakota Ditcheva Says Valentina Shevchenko May Be ‘Playing It Safe’

Ditcheva, a longtime Shevchenko (26-4) fan, agreed the champ might be cautious lately, saying “maybe a little bit” as critics note Shevchenko hasn’t finished since 2021. Ditcheva added, “when there’s money on the line people change,” and hopes she won’t. She also admitted, “Sometimes I do” fantasize about fighting her, but expects excuse-filled talk and no UFC–PFL crossover soon.
