Allycia Hellen Rodrigues has been nothing short of spectacular in her ONE Championship run, with her debut serving as the precursor of her dominance.
The Brazilian star shocked the Muay Thai world when she dethroned Thai superstar Stamp Fairtex of the ONE atomweight Muay Thai world title via majority decision in her ONE Championship debut at ONE: A New Breed.
She then defended her throne against former ONE atomweight kickboxing world champion Janet Todd, Cristina Morales, and Marie McManamon.
Rodrigues now embarks on her world title defense when she faces Shir Cohen in the main event of ONE Fight Night 32 on June 6, US primetime, at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok.
ONE Fight Night 32 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
