Reigning ONE women's atomweight Muay Thai world champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues of Brazil proved once again that she's the cream of the crop as far as 'the art of eight limbs' is concerned.
Following another successful title defense at ONE Fight Night 33: Rodrigues vs. Persson on Prime Video last weekend, Rodrigues was asked if she thought she shared the space with atomweight kickboxing queen Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom, to which the mom-champ replied that she stands alone.
The 27-year-old champion sent a clear message to potential challengers after retaining her gold against Johanna Persson on Friday.
Speaking to veteran MMA reporter Nick Atkin in a post-fight interview, Rodrigues declared her dominance in Muay Thai.
