Ditcheva vs Inaba: PFL Heads to Africa for Historic Cape Town Clash

Dakota Ditcheva and Sumiko Inaba are heading to Cape Town for a fight that might steal the show. On July 19, they’ll square off at PFL Africa 1 — the Professional Fighters League’s first-ever event on the continent. This PFL Origins episode tracks both women through fight week: the grind, the nerves, and the pressure of showing up big when the lights hit.

Ditcheva walks in undefeated and dangerous — known for crisp striking and quick finishes. But Inaba isn’t playing spoiler; she’s chasing her own breakout moment. Their matchup feels like a test — not just of skills, but of where they fit in the future of PFL.

The card is loaded. Johnny Eblen vs Costello Van Steenis tops the bill, with standout matchups like AJ McKee vs Akhmed Magomedov, Corey Anderson vs Denis Goltsov, and Zaynukov vs Izumi adding serious depth.

PFL Africa 1 isn’t just a debut card — it’s a shift in where the league’s headed. And Ditcheva vs Inaba might be the moment everyone remembers when it’s all over.
