Allycia Hellen Rodrigues called for an opportunity to challenge for the ONE women's atomweight kickboxing world title.
On March 7, Rodrigues fought for the first time in 2025, a women's atomweight Muay Thai world title defense.
The Brazilian superstar was initially scheduled to fight Shir Cohen in the ONE Fight Night 29 main event. However, Cohen pulled out due to an injury, so Rodrigues was matched up against promotional debutant Marie McManamon.
Rodrigues showcased a world-class performance and secured a fourth-round TKO (corner stoppage) against McManamon.

"If they give me the opportunity, I also want the kickboxing belt. If she comes for my belt, I want to go for her belt too."
Allycia Hellen Rodrigues received one of three $50,000 performance bonuses at ONE Fight Night 29. Shamil Erdogan and Rambolek received the other two.
