The Swedish striker, Johanna Persson, is prepared to dictate the pace when she challenges Allycia Hellen Rodrigues for the ONE women's atomweight Muay Thai world title in the main event of ONE Fight Night 33.
Emanating live from the legendary Lumpinee Stadium this Friday, July 11, the Swede promotional newcomer arrives on martial arts' grandest platform with a simple game plan to impose her aggressive fighting style on the divisional queen from the opening bell. While speaking with One Championship, Johanna Persson said:
"I love to push [the pace] and press forward. David says I'm a bit of a muay mat, and I could be a muay femur if I want to. But, always, my main goal is to press forward and conquer a fight. I want to implement my rhythm in a fight."
