ONE Championship athlete and grappling superstar Danielle Kelly is one of the most popular grapplers in the world currently. In fact, she might be one of the most popular athletes on social media today.
Kelly's combination of lethal grappling skills, celebrity looks, and relatable personality has made her very marketable. She may very well be the next Ronda Rousey of professional grappling. Any post of hers on Instagram generates thousands of reactions and engagements.
The Silverfox BJJ standout can post a training photo and literally write anything she can think of as the caption.

"The feminine urge to use Taylor Swift lyrics on a jiu jitsu post 🐒"
Granted, there are a lot of Taylor Swift songs that we can somehow categorize under "angry workout music", depending on who's listening. As it turns out, Danielle Kelly might be a fan of the muti-time Grammy Award-winning recording artist. Perhaps they can get together so she can teach Taylor how to channel all that bitterness into martial arts? One can only wish.
As expected, Kelly's fans flooded the comments section:
@ivanmcrodger comment was straight out of a Taylor Swift song:
"A nightmare dressed like a daydream?"
@brian_m540 jumped on the bandwagon and said:
"I'm the problem, it's me"
@jovkage.bjj channeled his inquisitive self to get his BJJ idol's attention, saying:
"So new Taylor swift, just turning to pop Taylor swift, or early country Taylor swift?"
@dluvly7 added some humor to his comment. He wrote:
"After choking out your opponent, "we are never ever getting back together" 😂"
The last time Danielle Kelly was seen in action was at ONE Fight Night 7 earlier this year. She edged out Japanese MMA standout Ayaka Miura in a thrilling submission grappling match.
At the moment, no official news is released yet regarding Kelly's next bout. Whoever is put in front of her, however, we're sure her fans will be there in droves to support her.
