Phetjeeja Announces Title Hunt After TKO Demolition Of Martyna Dominczak

Three knockdowns inside a single round told the complete story. Phetjeeja returned to Muay Thai after more than two years away from the sport and demolished Martyna Dominczak via first-round TKO at ONE Fight Night 38 on Friday, December 6, inside Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium.

The performance showcased the punching power that overwhelmed the 23-year-old Polish WMC Muay Thai World Champion from the opening bell while announcing the ONE Women’s Atomweight Kickboxing World Champion’s immediate intentions.

The Thai superstar improved to 8-0 in ONE Championship with destruction that looked effortless, as if the two-year absence from Muay Thai competition never happened. Her hands carried devastation that Dominczak’s durability couldn’t withstand, dropping the Polish contender repeatedly until the referee intervened to prevent further punishment. Yet the quick finish merely confirmed what Phetjeeja already knew — she’s ready for the two-sport dream that drives everything now.

“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 said.

The 23-year-old understands the difference between stopping Dominczak and defeating Allycia Hellen Rodrigues, who’s defended her atomweight Muay Thai title three times already. Mental preparation feels complete after accumulating championship experience through victories over Anissa Meksen, Janet Todd, and Kana Morimoto. After all, these battles forged the mindset required for competing at this level. Yet physical readiness demands more work despite Friday’s dominant showing.

“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,” Phetjeeja said.

The punching power that dropped Dominczak three times wasn’t accidental but calculated. Phetjeeja understood exactly what her hands could accomplish against the Polish contender’s durability, recognizing that continuing the fight would have produced identical results through sheer force rather than technical brilliance.

“I think there’s no specific technique, but I think it’s just because of the power of my punches, and if she were to get up again and the fight was to continue, I think she would go down again,” Phetjeeja said.

Muay Thai represents home for the Thai champion in ways kickboxing never could. In fact, the art she mastered first calls her back with rules that feel natural and weapons she wields best — elbows and clinch work that kickboxing regulations prohibit but Muay Thai celebrates.

“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,” Phetjeeja said.
