The choice for MMA Junkie's Female Fighter of the Year was Dakota Ditcheva, and it wasn't really close.

Ditcheva had a star-making 2024 as she dominated the PFL season, standing out in a year when no UFC women's champion defended their title more than once.

After claiming the PFL Europe championship in December, Ditcheva entered the big PFL regular season, on the hunt for more gold and the big $1 million prize.

Ditcheva stopped Lisa Mauldin, Chelsea Hackett, Jena Bishop, then got the matchup everyone hoped for in the championship against former UFC title challenger Taila Santos, and she stopped her too.

MMA Junkie's Mike Bohn, Matthew Wells, Dan Tom, and host Danny Segura discuss the Female Fighter of the Year, and if anyone else was deserving of the award.

Watch their discussion in the video above, and don't miss this week's complete episode of "Spinning Back Clique" below on YouTube.
