ONE Championship

ONE Championship female atomweight Muay Thai champion Allycia Helen Rodrigues will seek a record fourth title defense when she takes on Shir Cohen at ONE Fight Night 32, per sources with the promotion.

The five-round title fight featuring ONE's unique brand of Muay Thai in four-ounce gloves will be the main event of the June 6th fight card, with other fights announced including co-main event Nakrob vs. Jaosuayi as well as a banger between Johan Estupiñan and Japan's Taiki Naito.

This fight was originally scheduled to take place in March at ONE Fight Night 29 until the challenger, Cohen, suffered an injury in training.

That forced Ireland's Marie McManamon to step in as challenger, who lost by doctor's stoppage in the fourth round, earning Allycia a $50,000 bonus.

The long-reigning Brazilian champion is now 4-1 in the promotion, only ever coming up short at a higher weight class against strawweight Muay Thai champion Smilla Sundell.

Despite the lone loss overall, Rodrigues is still undefeated in her own division in ONE with four title wins at atomweight – over McManamon, Christina Morales, Janet Todd, and superstar Stamp Fairtex – but Shir Cohen will test the sharpness of the 26-year-old champ's tools with both having dominated all recent competition.

Cohen is two years the champion's junior and debuted in ONE Championship as recently as last year, but her violent debut TKO and three straight wins in 2024 to start her promotional tenure made her undeniable as a title contender.

However, Rodrigues can increase her lead as the longest reigning champion in the history of ONE’s female striking divisions, having held the belt since she took it from Stamp in 2020.

Beating the Israeli challenger would put Allycia at three title defenses and 1763 days as champion; only mixed martial arts champions Angela Lee and Xiong Jing Nan ever reigned longer among all women in ONE Championship.

ONE Fight Night 29 will take place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, at 8:00pm EST on March 7th, 2025.
