'The Queen' Phetjeeja isn't back in Muay Thai for tune-up fights. The reigning ONE women's atomweight kickboxing world champion is out to complete her two-sport dream on martial arts' grandest stage—and she couldn't have wished for a better way to make her intentions known.

She dished out a first-round destruction of Polish bruiser, fellow former WMC Muay Thai world champion Martyna Dominczak, during the organization's final American primetime show of the year, ONE Fight Night 38, inside Bangkok's Lumpinee Stadium.

In her post-fight interview with the promotion on Dec. 5, the 23-year-old Thai megastar had this to say on what she wants next inside the global stage of the organization:

"Definitely, it has to be the Muay Thai belt, yeah, that's my goal right now. And I feel like I come back this time, I have come back for the belt."

That clarity sets up her pursuit of two-sport dominance.

The Team Mehdi Zatout product dropped Dominczak three times in the opening round—first with a right hand, then a left hook to the body after catching a kick, and finally with a devastating right punch-right high kick combination that forced the stoppage at 2:46.

Phetjeeja's two-sport dream within reach

Her victory, which improved her record to 210-6, extended her pristine promotional campaign to 7-0. More importantly, it puts her in the driver's seat to challenge ONE women's atomweight Muay Thai world champion Allycia Hellen Rodrigues.

The Brazilian world champion holds a 5-0 atomweight record with back-to-back knockouts of Johanna Persson and Marie McManamon in 2025.

Her Phuket Fight Club striking and championship experience create legitimate challenges for any contender.

But Phetjeeja fighting under Muay Thai rules—where she feels most comfortable and confident—presents problems Rodrigues hasn't faced.

The Thai's ability to seamlessly blend punches, kicks, elbows, and clinch work makes her untouchable when operating in her preferred environment.
