'Teep Queen' mesmerized the Bangkok crowd at ONE Fight Night 36 last October 3, where she put on a striking clinic and outclassed former ONE atomweight Muay Thai world title challenger Marie McManamon.

Flores, who extended her winning streak to five and improved to 9-1 overall, was ecstatic after proving herself on the global stage.

The 27-year-old striker shared her experience with Nick Atkin of The Bangkok Post:

"It was good. It was great. I think during the week it was very organized, very well-run. It was my first time, so I was obviously getting used to how everything works — even up until today, stepping in the ring, just kind of getting the feel for everything. And the gloves as well — those were a big adjustment for me."

The San Diego native continued:

“So yeah, now that I've kind of got my feet wet, I think the next time is going to go even smoother. But overall, great experience fighting for ONE, and I can't wait to do it again."

Selina Flores says she's coming for Allycia Hellen Rodrigues

Selina Flores' confidence is off the chain right now after beating a former world title challenger in her promotional debut.

Now, the American sets her sights on the division's queen, Brazilian mom-champ and reigning ONE atomweight Muay Thai world champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues.

'Teep Queen' told Nick Atkin:

"I'm ready to fight again. I'm healthy — obviously, once these heal up — but I'm ready to step in again whenever I need to, and that's my goal. I think that everybody's kind of asking me that and trying to stir the pot a little bit, which I totally understand. But yeah, that's what I'm here for. I'm not afraid to say that — that is the goal."
