Reigning ONE atomweight Muay Thai world champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues isn’t content with just holding one golden belt over her shoulders. She’s gunning for immortality and wants 26-pound ONE hardware in each hand.
However, to achieve legendary champ-champ status, Rodrigues will have to get past a monumental challenge, in the literal and figurative sense.
Rodrigues is set to face towering 5-foot-8-inch teenage sensation Smilla Sundell for her ONE strawweight Muay Thai world title. The two are scheduled to meet at ONE Fight Night 14: Stamp vs. Ham on Prime Video.
The event will be broadcast live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore on Friday, September 29.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Rodrigues said the opportunity to face Sundell, even on short notice, was simply too hard to pass up.
The Brazilian Muay Thai queen said:
“I’m moving up in the division because I couldn’t let this opportunity pass me by. I want to make history. I want to be a champion of two divisions.”
Can Rodrigues make history and claim a belt in a second weight division? Only time will tell.
Also at ONE Fight Night 14, No.1-ranked women’s atomweight MMA contender Stamp Fairtex takes on No.2-ranked Ham Seo Hee for the ONE women’s interim atomweight world title in the evening’s main event.
