Allycia Hellen Rodrigues: "Talk about intimidating" - Fans feel the sheer aura Allycia Hellen Rodrigues holds ahead of world title defense against Shir Cohen

Fans are well aware that Allycia Hellen Rodrigues isn't taking her next outing lightly. With just two weeks to go before she defends her ONE atomweight Muay Thai world title in the main event of ONE Fight Night 32 on June 6, the Brazilian star is in full beast mode.

Rodrigues is set to put her 26 pounds of gold on the line against Israeli challenger Shir Cohen in a five-round showdown, airing live in U.S. primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

To build hype for her return to action, ONE Championship dropped a carousel of training footage on Instagram — featuring Rodrigues' intense pad work and drills.

The clips are currently making rounds on social media, with fans flooding the comment section in awe — many equally impressed and intimidated by Rodrigues' ferocity amid the preparations:

This kind of intensity is expected from the 27-year-old, whose reputation for dominance continues to grow.

Since seizing the crown from Stamp Fairtex in her promotional debut in 2020, the Phuket Fight Club member has remained a force in the division. After taking time off to welcome her child into the world, she came back in 2023 with a statement performance, obliterating American legend Janet Todd with non-stop offense.

Most recently, Rodrigues reminded everyone of her elite pedigree by dismantling Marie McManamon en route to a fourth-round technical knockout.

Allycia Hellen Rodrigues looks to sustain streak in ONE Championship

With momentum on her side and championship experience in her corner, Allycia Hellen Rodrigues looks more than ready to defend her throne once again at ONE Fight Night 32.

She recently expressed confidence ahead of her upcoming assignment in an interview with English journalist Nick Atkin:

"I'm the champ — my job is to defend my belt. I'm not here to pick fights — and whoever they send to me, I'll fight. I'm always ready, we train hard here."

ONE Fight Night 32 will stream live and for free on Prime Video in the United States and Canada.
