Lumpinee Stadium witnessed history on 19 June as The Inner Circle 19 and ONE Friday Fights 159 delivered a night that will be discussed for years. Allycia Hellen Rodrigues survived fifteen minutes of war with "The Queen" Phetjeeja Lukjaoporongtom to retain the ONE Atomweight Muay Thai World Title via split decision.
No one had ever beaten Phetjeeja inside ONE Championship. Rodrigues changed that. The Brazilian mother absorbed relentless body punching and elbow attacks across five rounds, answered with stabbing knees and clinch dominance, and pressed hard in the final frame when it mattered most. Split decision. Nearly six years as champion. Record: 36-7.
Roman Kryklia walked into The Inner Circle 19 with one loss on his ONE Championship record. He left with the ONE Heavyweight Kickboxing World Title and a 52-8 record. After absorbing Samet Agdeve's calf kicks in round one, the 6-foot-7 Ukrainian established his jab and systematically broke the Turkish champion down across five rounds.
Kryklia mixed body and head attacks with ruthless efficiency, switching stances to neutralise Agdeve's calf kick threat and landing a stunning high kick in round four. When the unanimous decision came, he had avenged his only ONE loss and added a third world title to a collection that already defied belief.
Malaysian Rifdean Masdor stormed Javad Mozafari from the opening bell, dropping the Iranian twice with body shots and a head attack barrage before claiming a first-round KO and a US$100,000 ONE Championship contract at 47-8. Sixteen-year-old Olivia "Diamond" Bahsous then floored Phontip Khlongtoeiyouthcenter with elbows and punches to earn a TKO at 1:29 of round one on debut.
Xavier Gonzalez and Denis Dotsenko provided ONE Friday Fights 159 with its highlight moments. Gonzalez timed a right hand counter to drop Chatanan Sor Jor Joyprajin before finishing with a body and head assault at 1:37 of round two. Dotsenko produced two identical right hand counters to stop Petgarfield Jitmuangnon at 1:09 of round two.
