Smilla Sundell defends her belt on September 29

Not even 20 years of age, Sundell will defend her strawweight strap on September 29 against Allycia Hellen Rodrigues.

“She is still young. She lacks experience. She still has room for development. But if she is taught in the right way, she will have a bright future ahead. Maybe she can become the GOAT,” Rodtang said about Smilla Sundell, whom he trained with before the Swede’s first ONE title bout.

On Friday September 22, Rodtang will defend his flyweight titlee against Superlek Kiatmoo9 at ONE Friday Fights 34. Sundell will put her title on the line against atomweight Muay Thai queen Hellen Rodrigues at ONE Fight Night 14 a week later.
