Helena Crevar picked up a significant win at ONE: The Inner Circle 22, taking a unanimous decision over Paige Ivette.
It wasn’t a finish, but the performance further cemented her standing as one of the top competitors in the sport and puts her firmly in title contention after just two ONE Championship appearances.
Crevar’s ONE debut came earlier with a submission win over Teshya Alo at ONE Fight Night 39.
After weight-cutting issues in that fight, this bout with Ivette was contested at openweight instead.
Crevar controlled much of the action, working from mount into back control and hunting for the rear naked choke for extended stretches, but Ivette’s defense held up throughout, fending off every attack.
After 10 minutes, the judges scored it unanimously in Crevar’s favor.
The win comes on the heels of another successful title defense, as Crevar retained her Polaris lightweight title with a submission win over Amanda Pamela Nicole just last month.
With that momentum, she’s now well positioned to push for ONE Championship’s inaugural openweight title, or potentially challenge at lightweight or featherweight instead.
Before any of that, though, Crevar’s immediate focus is ADCC 2026.
After taking silver in the under-65kg division at ADCC 2024, she’s moving up to over 65kg this time – and at just 19 years old, she has a real chance to become the youngest female ADCC world champion in history.
