“We are very united. She was always more intense than me, but we always got along really well. We have always been a family, she much more so than me, because I’m a little more relaxed. But we have always been very much a family.”
Allycia Hellen Rodrigues was thrown into the deep end when she made her ONE Championship debut in August 2020.
The Brazilian superstar challenged Stamp Fartex for the ONE women's atomweight Muay Thai world title and won by majority decision.
Rodrigues then stepped away from competition for several years to give birth and focus on starting her own family.
Once she returned, Rodrigues defended her throne for the first time with a unanimous decision win against Janet Todd.
Rodrigues' third promotional appearance featured an attempt to become a two-division world champion against strawweight queen Smilla Sundell.
Sundell defeated her by third-round knockout, postponing her dreams of conquering a second division.
Rodrigues last fought in March 2024, defeating Cristina Morales by unanimous decision to extend her promotional record to 3-1.
