A native of Fortaleza, Rodrigues made an immediate impact in her ONE Championship debut by dethroning Stamp Fairtex to claim the ONE atomweight Muay Thai world championship back in 2020.

Rodrigues hasn't returned to the ONE circle since and will have to wait just a little bit longer to get back in action.

This will be Todd's second attempt at becoming ONE's undisputed atomweight Muay Thai world champion.

Her first attempt came back in 2019 when she made her promotional debut against then-champion Stamp.

Todd fell short in a close bout but has since blazed a championship trail of her own.

After three consecutive victories, Todd earned another shot at Stamp, this time for the ONE atomweight kickboxing world championship.

This time around, Todd earned the nod to take home the title.

In July 2022, Todd defeated Lara Fernandez to win the interim ONE atomweight Muay Thai championship and set up a unification bout against Rodrigues.

As a result, the heavyweight mixed martial arts (MMA) contest between Senegal's Oumar "Reug Reug" Kane and Jazur Mirzamukhamedov of Uzbekistan will be added to Friday night's offering.

The Kane-Jazur bout was originally set for the ONE 164 card on Saturday morning.

Both ONE on Prime Video 5 and ONE 164 will take place at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in the Philippines.

ONE Championship is expected to announce an updated card addressing the fight changes soon.
