The 27-year-old Brazilian mother champion called the match 50-50 while predicting a brawl. Allycia Hellen Rodrigues guaranteed one of the biggest female battles of the year between two champion strikers known for their aggressive style.
This marks Allycia Hellen Rodrigues’ fifth title defense since capturing the atomweight Muay Thai title in her promotional debut in 2020. The Phuket Fight Club representative faces her first Thai opponent in nearly six years as she attempts to extend her undefeated atomweight record.
Allycia Hellen Rodrigues expects a long-awaited confrontation
The Brazilian always expected this opportunity to arise. She framed the title fight as one of the most important fights of her career and urged her opponent to prepare for war.
“I always knew this opportunity would come. And now it’s here, and it’s one of the biggest [fights] of my career. This is the fight everyone has wanted to see for a long time. I hope she is ready too, because it will be a war,” said Allycia Hellen Rodrigues.
Her opponent, Phetjeeja, brings 210 career wins and a perfect promotional record of 8-0 into this title challenge. The 24-year-old has defeated striking legends Anissa Meksen and Janet Todd en route to the undisputed ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Title.
Atomweight Queen Allycia Hellen Rodrigues sees an even title fight
Allycia Hellen Rodrigues rated the title fight as complete even with legitimate danger for both competitors. The reigning champion predicted multiple rounds of intense exchanges rather than chess matches.
“I believe this fight is 50-50. It could go either way. It’s a fight that is as dangerous for me as it is for her. But I do believe that the vast majority of rounds will be a brawl,” Rodrigues explained.
The bold prediction sets high expectations for the main event showdown. Both fighters possess finishing ability and an aggressive mentality that promise explosive exchanges over five rounds.
Brazilian champion guarantees biggest women’s fight of 2026
Looking at the broader meaning, Allycia Hellen Rodrigues guaranteed that their fight would be among the most important female fights of 2026. The Atomweight Queen explained how their matching aggressive styles guarantee non-stop action.
“I can guarantee that it will be one of the biggest women’s fights of the year. And because of our styles, it will also be a very intense fight. A fight where no one can blink,” said Rodrigues.
The champion versus champion clash promises to determine atomweight’s striking supremacy. Allycia Hellen Rodrigues is looking to prove her Muay Thai skills can overcome Phetjeeja’s veteran experience, while the Thai challenger is looking to add Muay Thai gold to her kickboxing collection.
