Cristina Morales sees same fire in Allycia Hellen Rodrigues: “She reminds me of myself”
Taking on her toughest test in ONE Championship to date, Cristina Morales wants to build on her momentum with a big victory over fellow mom-champ Allycia Hellen Rodrigues at ONE Fight Night 20 on Prime Video.
Morales is coming off a first-round technical knockout victory over highly regarded Thai fighter Anna ‘Supergirl’ Jaroonsak last November. A victory over Rodrigues will net her the world title and put Morales on a two-fight winning streak.
She isn’t taking her opponent lightly by any means. Morales added:
“Allycia is a strong fighter that is always pushing forward. She reminds me of myself. She fights until the end.”
