<div itemprop="articleBody"><a href="https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/tag/thad-jean">Thad Jean</a>’s post-fight callout was an unconventional one, to say the least.
Jean (9-0), who came through the PFL challenger series in 2023, picked up a nasty finish at Thursday’s 2025 PFL World Tournament 1 in Orlando, Fla. He dropped Mukhamed Berkhamov (17-3) with a crisp left hand, and then jumped on him with some vicious ground-and-pound to seal the deal at 4:25 of Round 1.

After the finish, in his in-cage-post-fight interview, Jean had a message for 2024 PFL women’s flyweight champion Dakota Ditcheva.
“By the way, where’s Dakota Ditcheva?” Jean said. “Why is she not here? No, never mind, don’t say nothing. I want to see you June 12, Nashville. I’m not saying anything, though, come.”
STATEMENT. MADE. 🦍🔥

Interesting callout aside, Jean continues to build momentum, still undefeated in MMA and adding his fifth career finish by TKO/KO. Jean, who trains out of Fight Sports Deerfield Beach in Florida, is now slatted to take on the winner of the 2025 PFL World Tournament 1 main event between Andrey Koreshkov and Jason Jackson.
