Allycia Hellen Rodrigues delivered another lights-out performance at ONE Fight Night 29 on Friday night.
Returning to the legendary Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Rodrigues put her ONE atomweight Muay Thai world championship on the line against ONE newcomer Marie McManamon.
Things were relatively slow in the early rounds with both fighters attempting to download information on one another. However, things quickly picked up in the third round as Rodrigues proceeded to close the distance and light up McManamon with a series of well-timed combinations. Just before the end of the round Rodrigues sent McManamon crashing to the canvas.
To her credit, McManamon answered the count and made it to the fourth, but that would only encourage Rodrigues to pick up the pace and put an absolute beating on McManamon from bell to bell.
Just before the fifth round, McManamon declined to get off her stool. As a result, the bout was called off and Rodrigues was awarded the win via technical knockout.
Official Result: Allycia Hellen Rodrigues def. Marie McManamon via TKO (retirement) at 3:00 of Round 4 to retain the ONE atomweight Muay Thai world championship.
