Danielle Kelly's win over longtime rival Jessa Khan was a walk in the park.
More than two years after Khan stunned Kelly with a decision victory under the Who's Number One banner in 2021, the two grappling wizards would run it back at ONE Fight Night 14 for the inaugural ONE atomweight submission grappling world championship.
This time, things would play out much differently with Kelly maintaining control throughout the majority of the match and walking away with a decisive unanimous decision.

Looking back on her history-making performance against Khan, Kelly revealed that the matchup was a relatively easy one with the Cambodian-American offering a very little threat this time around.
During an appearance on the Jordan Teaches Jiu-jitsu podcast, Kelly said:
"I was just confident to use like what I had. Maybe I made one mistake, but I knew she wasn't going to submit me. So there wasn't really anything from her end. I didn't really have any worries in the match, you know. It was a pretty easy match for me. She didn’t threaten me."
