The reigning ONE women's atomweight kickboxing world champion made it look easy against dangerous Polish striker Martyna Dominczak last Friday, Dec. 5 in front of her hometown fans at Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.

After spending the last two years conquering the kickboxing ranks, the 23-year-old came back to her roots and made a statement against the former WMC World Champion.

Knowing the pedigree of her opponent, Dominczak came out firing in a bid to establish the tempo. She landed a nice face teep, which turned out to be her only significant shot of the night.

It only angered Phetjeeja, who responded with a ballistic right hand. Fighting in four-ounce gloves again unleashed the Thai superstar’s true power as Dominczak collapsed to the canvas.

But the Polish fighter wouldn’t give up easily and survived the count. Dominczak went back to a front kick, the same technique that landed the first time.

‘The Queen’, however, saw it from a mile away this time, countering with a sharp left hook that landed flush.

The pain was evident on Dominczak’s face as she crumpled to the canvas a second time.

Dominczak showed the heart of a true warrior by surviving once more, but couldn’t prevent the inevitable.

Phetjeeja knew victory was at hand and didn’t hesitate to seek her moment. She unloaded a picturesque right punch-right high kick masterpiece that floored Dominczak for the third and final time.
