"Stella is a girl who works hard for her dreams. She's a very technical girl, but also very aggressive due to her kickboxing style. I'm very happy [for her] to have this opportunity and to be able to show all her work.”

Rodrigues’s belief in Stella Hemetsberger is well-warranted after her pristine run in the ONE Friday Fights series. The 26-year-old emerged victorious in her three contests, capped by a six-figure contract-winning knockout over Vanessa Romanowski earlier this year.

As far as Rodrigues is concerned, we’ll witness the crowning of Austria’s first ONE world champion at ONE Fight Night 35.

North American fans can watch this epic battle live in U.S. primetime for free with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
