Thai superstar Phetjeeja delivered a remarkable performance in her Muay Thai return, dropping Martyna Dominczak to secure a TKO victory at ONE Fight Night 38 on December 6 in Bangkok, Thailand.
The ONE Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion extended her unblemished promotional record to 8-0 with a performance that left no doubt about her championship ambitions in a second striking discipline.
Following the emphatic stoppage, the 23-year-old Thai sensation immediately clarified her intentions.
"Definitely, it has to be the Muay Thai belt. That's my goal right now. And I feel like I came back this time, I have come back for the belt," Phetjeeja declared.
The explosive encounter provided all the evidence needed to assess her readiness for a title challenge against reigning ONE Women's Atomweight Muay Thai World Champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues.
"The fight today was quite quick. I can say that I'm mentally ready. And also, my experience I think is enough to face Allycia Hellen Rodrigues now. But what I need to do more is to go back and train more. So, I have to be physically ready for her," the Team Mehdi Zatout representative explained.
Returning to Muay Thai after a two-year absence competing exclusively in kickboxing felt like a homecoming for Phetjeeja.
"For Muay Thai, it feels like home to me. I feel a lot more confident when you compare it to kickboxing, and I would like to focus on Muay Thai first. I just feel like it's the rules that I am familiar with and the rules that I am good at," she stated.
Phetjeeja has already established herself among kickboxing's elite by defeating legendary opponents including Anissa Meksen, Janet Todd, and Kana Morimoto in her most recent title defense.
Now, with her kickboxing crown secured, she turns her full attention toward capturing Muay Thai gold.
