PFL Europe 1: Full fight card as Simeon Powell and Dakota Ditcheva headline Newcastle opener
Dakota Ditcheva
Professional Fighters League begin their European expansion this weekend with a stacked show in Newcastle.
PFL Europe is the organisation's first international league which will consist of four events throughout 2023 - beginning in Newcastle this Saturday.
Top 32 fighters from across the continent will compete across four weight divisions, with the eventual PFL Europe Champions set to bank $100,000 in prize money.
Champions also have a chance to earn a spot on the PFL Global Roster where the prize money is $1million.
Saturday's Newcastle show will be headlined by exciting British prospect Simeon Powell.
The undefeated 24-year-old will take on Mohamed Amine in a light-heavyweight contest.
The chief support comes in the form of Dakota Ditcheva who will take on Sweden's Malin Hermansson in the flyweight division.
Ditcheva boasts an impressive 7-0 record, with her last two victories coming on PFL shows.
Both wins came in the first round against Hassna Gaber and Katherine Corogenes as the Brit announced herself on the world stage.
