Paulina Wisniewska competed in 28 amateur MMA fights and wasted no time in looking to utilize her experience to full advantage as a professional. Wisniewska enters tonight’s fight 4-0, looking to keep her undefeated record and pick up PFL Europe gold. She found a place in tonight’s finale following wins over Dee Begley and Karolina Wojcik earlier this year.
Valentina Scatizzi came so close to becoming the inaugural champion of PFL Europe’s women’s 125-pound division before losing in last year’s final to 2024 PFL Women’s Flyweight World Champion Dakota Ditcheva. But Scatizzi, an SBG Ireland product, came back ready to claim the gold. Scatizzi defeated Marie Loiseau earlier this year but came up short against Shanelle Dyer in September. However, an injury to Dyer has given Scatizzi one more opportunity at the gold.
Who will become the second PFL Europe Women’s Flyweight Champion?
