Former ONE atomweight submission grappling world champion Danielle Kelly sees herself as a potential three-division world champion.
In a recent appearance on the JitsCast, Kelly shared her thoughts about the possibility of moving up in two more divisions and capturing more 26-pound golden belts, like what she did in the 115-pound division.
However, she also acknowledged the tough competition that awaits her in the 125-pound weight class, as she shared:
"I do see myself being the three-division [world champion] but 125 girls are definitely tough. Like if you have rolled with girls who are a solid or cut to 125, it's a different feeling."

Although Kelly believes that she won her first battle with the Brazilian submission artist, the Philadelphia native said that she has fully moved on from that setback.
The 29-year-old American star shared this in a recent interview with ONE Championship by saying:
"Well, I watched the whole match before just so I can study and fix things that I can fix. I thought I won at first, but it'a only a 'he said, she said' thing. It doesn't really make a difference what I said. She got the bonus too. Not saying I don't care. It is what it is."
