ONE Championship is starting 2026 with an awesome matchup: Helena Crevar and Teshya Alo will make their promotional debuts against each other at ONE Fight Night 39!
The division is currently vacant, with no champion ever crowned.
That means the winner of Crevar vs. Alo has a real chance to position themselves as the frontrunner for the inaugural title.
Helena Crevar enters the bout as the clear favorite, and for good reason.
Over the past two years she has become one of the biggest breakout stars in grappling.
Her performance at ADCC 2024 was historic – she took silver in the under 65kg division and became the youngest athlete ever to stand on the ADCC podium.
Her momentum didn’t stop there. Just months later, Crevar won the biggest payday of her career at CJI 2, defeating ADCC double champion Adele Fornarino on her way to winning the $100,000 title.
At only a few years into her professional career, she is already a proven contender at the highest level.
But Teshya Alo isn’t stepping into this fight to play the underdog quietly either.
While she hasn’t yet broken into the major global events that Crevar has, Alo has built an impressive resume on smaller promotions.
Most recently, she competed in the team event at Main Character Jiu-Jitsu 8, helping her squad secure a second-place finish while taking on a pair of tough matches.
