"I want to put on a show" - Allycia Hellen Rodrigues promises entertainment in title defense at ONE Fight Night 33

ONE Women's Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues has promised to deliver spectacular action when she puts her crown on the line against Swedish sensation Johanna Persson in the main event of ONE Fight Night 33.

The Brazilian striking queen, who has dominated the atomweight division since dethroning Thai superstar Stamp Fairtex in 2020, enters this championship defense with finishing intentions against the Scandinavian promotional newcomer.

"I'm going in to get the knockout. But a fight is a fight, so you never know," Rodrigues told ONE Championship ahead of the world title tiff inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok on July 11.

"Still, I've been training for this. I want to put on a show for the audience, and I know both of us will do just that."

This aggressive mindset from the Phuket Fight Club representative reflects the finishing mentality that has defined her tenure in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Allycia Hellen Rodrigues has won all four of her assignments in the division against the aforementioned three-sport superstar, Janet Todd, Cristina Morales, and Marie McManamon.

Her only defeat came at the hands of Smilla Sundell at ONE Fight Night 14 in September 2023 during their ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title matchup.

Despite dominating the weight bracket, Rodrigues' fire to maintain her reputation is off the charts heading into the promotion's latest American primetime spectacle.

After all, it is another chance for the Brazilian striking queen to continue cementing her legacy as one of Muay Thai's most dominant and exciting world champions.

Active Amazon Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada can witness her in action and the entire ONE Fight Night 33 card live on Friday, July 11.
