Another random Bellator rematch.
Also god knows what they're trying to achieve with giving Dakota a gimme like this. She's going to have to fight a Taila or a Goatmouche at some point if she's going to win. I'd have given her a step up against someone like Kana Watanabe to give her a solid test along the way to the real tests.
Hell even Ilara Joane would hev been more of a workout than Hackett.
The only times Ditcheva has ever looked vulnerable imo were during cage wrestling sequences. Clinching her on the cage fence and winning minutes, and potentially rounds, off of control is really the only way to beat her without being a specialist.
Hackett displayed solid cage wrestling during her first PFL fight against Ky Bennet and seems quite strong, so maybe the PFL wants to see if Hackett can build off those minor successes previous Ditcheva opponents have had clinching her and stalling out the fight?
Its not much of a test but its something.
She's going to absolutely kill Hackett dude, don't kid yourself, this is to give her another 6 points.
Five rematches on this card. Fuck's sake.

Danilo Marques vs. Marcelo Nunes is also a rematch from a bout last year1. This card fucking sucks.
2. Why are there so many rematches?? They couldn’t even manipulate the tournament to have fresh matchups?
