Allycia Hellen Rodrigues delivered a statement performance at ONE Fight Night 29 in Bangkok, stopping Marie McManamon after four dominant rounds to successfully defend her ONE Women’s Atomweight Muay Thai world title.

The Brazilian champion overwhelmed the debutant with a relentless barrage of strikes, securing her first finish in ONE Championship and earning a well-deserved US$50,000 performance bonus.

“I feel so happy now. I’ve come back after breaking my hand. It’s been a year,” an emotional Rodrigues said. “I pushed a lot every day. I fight for my family. I love fighting. I’m so happy to be back and win again.”

A late replacement for injured Israeli contender Shir Cohen, McManamon started well, using her teep and low kicks to keep Rodrigues at bay.

But the champion quickly found her range and began closing the distance with crisp combinations.

By the second round, Rodrigues had taken control. She landed a sharp right cross-left hook combination, worked the body and head, and trapped McManamon in the corner, wobbling her with a heavy right hand.
