Allycia Hellen Rodrigues, the current atomweight Muay Thai world champion, has revealed her plans to transition into mixed martial arts (MMA).

This co-main event clash at ONE Fight Night 14 presents Rodrigues with the opportunity to become a two-division world champion, opening up a world of possibilities inside the Circle.
During a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Rodrigues and her coach Leo Elias discussed the potential move to MMA and how becoming a two-division titleholder could benefit her future plans. Elias expressed his belief that being a double champion would make it easier for Rodrigues to secure good fights and potentially earn another title shot in MMA.
Stamp Fairtex and the Long-Awaited Rematch
On the same night that Rodrigues aims for her second world title, Stamp Fairtex, another standout in ONE Championship , will attempt to make history by becoming the promotion’s first-ever three-sport ONE world champion. If both Rodrigues and Fairtex are successful, it could set the stage for a long-awaited rematch in MMA between the two fighters.
