Rodrigues picked up a unanimous decision win over the Spanish standout in the co-main event at One on Prime Video 20 on International Women’s Day at the Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Thailand on March 9. Rodrigues subsequently called for a rematch against reigning ONE women’s atomweight world champion Fairtex, who she defeated for the muay thai title in 2020. Rodrigues is also open to a clash against Phetjeeja, who unified the ONE women’s atomweight kickboxing title against Janet Todd in the evening’s main event.

“I’m expecting to fight against Phetjeeja or Stamp Fairtex, if she comes back to muay thai,” Rodrigues said at the post-fight press conference. ‌

Phetjeeja also expressed double-champ aspirations after the event and has her eyes on Rodrigues’ muay thai title next. Meanwhile, Fairtex is scheduled to defend her MMA world title against Denice Zamboanga at One 166: Qatar, which goes down at the Lusail Sports Arena on March 1.

Rodrigues also expressed interest in a future move to MMA, where she would also prefer a rematch against Fairtex.

“I'm anxious to make my MMA debut,” she said. “I think it’ll be a great opportunity to make a run in MMA. I’d like Stamp Fairtex in MMA.”

Rodrigues’ clash against Morales marked the first time two mothers competed for a ONE world title. Rodrigues was honored to co-headline the special card and hopes to continue to inspire more mothers and women.

“I’m very happy and honored to be here tonight, representing women and mothers on this all-female card,” Rodrigues said. “It’s a deep honor for me to show our strength and our willpower. I’m very happy to represent all the mothers and very honored to be able to inspire them. I hope that I continue to inspire them. I’m very happy to have this opportunity.”

In addition t the fact that her son was in attendance, the victory was also special for Rodrigues because it came one week after her mother’s birthday.

“I’m extremely happy with this victory because I had my son with me and because it was my mom’s birthday on March 2, and we didn't get the chance to celebrate it because I was in camp preparing for the fight,” she said. “This was a way to celebrate my mom’s birthday. I’m very happy, I have no words to describe my happiness at this moment.”
