America's Janet Todd loves having fun while competing inside the circle, something that was evident in her epic knockout of Ekaterina Vandaryeva in 2019.
'JT' is riding a stellar seven-fight winning streak into her upcoming atomweight Muay Thai world title unification bout at ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video. The 37-year-old secured the interim title last July, besting Spain's Lara Fernandez via unanimous decision. She and Brazil's Allycia Hellen Rodrigues will unify the belts in a co-headlining slot at ONE Fight Night 8.
Ahead of that bout, ONE Championship has shared one of Todd’s signature wins in the circle, as she danced her way to battle and later took down Vandaryeva with a cold-blooded head kick that sat her down.

Allycia Hellen Rodrigues says bout against Janet Todd will be a "great fight for the fans"
Brazil's Rodrigues is making her long-awaited return to action after beating Stamp Fairtex to win the atomweight Muay Thai world title nearly three years ago.
The Phuket Fight Club affiliate is assuring fans that her title bout with Todd will be an exciting affair, telling ONE:
“I've been training very well... I always prepare very well for every fight. Regardless of who the opponent is, I will always arrive 100 percent prepared. Because of our fighting styles, I'm sure we'll put on a great fight for the fans.”
Todd is well-accustomed to taking part in exciting fights, scoring highlight finishes inside the circle over Wang Chin Long, Anne Line Hogstad, and Vandaryeva.
Meanwhile, Rodrigues is more of a wildcard due to the fact that no one has seen her compete in almost three years. Yet, she put forth the performance of a lifetime in her lone ONE appearance, dethroning Stamp Fairtex.
The pair of women's atomweights will unify the Muay Thai world title at ONE Fight Night 8.
Make sure to tune in to ONE Fight Night 8 on March 25 to see Janet Todd and Allycia Hellen Rodrigues unify the Atomweight Muay Thai World Championship, live from the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
