PFL hit the jackpot with these 3 regular season match-ups

The Professional Fighter's League acquired Bellator and has been absolutely killing it using both rosters to the best of their advantage. On Monday, March 11 the promotion announced the first three fight cards for their 2024 Regular Season.

Each of these three events feature at least one absolute banger of a match-up and many of the card feature several. The events are spread over the course of three weekends in three separate US cities.

Here are three of the best fights across the three events, plus the locations, dates and full cards for all the events.

1. Dakota Ditcheva vs. Lisa Mauldin

Dakota Ditcheva is already a star in PFL Europe and she will make her PFL regular season debut when she takes on Lisa Mauldin. The women will compete in the Women's Flyweight season, the first the PFL has hosted it in the United States.

Ditcheva won the 2023 PFL Europe Women's Flyweight Tournament and looks to prove lighting can strike twice across the pond. She's undefeated in her MMA career and has had just one of her fights go to decision.

Mauldin is an American MMA staple competing in PFL twice starting with her PFL Challenger Series win in 2023. Last season she defeated Desiree Yanez via a first-round rear-naked choke in her official PFL debut. To make matters worse for Ditcheva, not only does Mauldin have a ground game but she has a boxing win under her belt too. Double trouble.

There's zero chance this goes to the scorecards.
