Danielle Kelly gives Mayssa Bastos her flowers

Mayssa Bastos is one of the most decorated BJJ athletes on the ONE Championship roster and Danielle Kelly respects her accomplishments in the sport.

Kelly said in a recent interview:

"Fighting Mayssa Bastos coming up, she's definitely, I mean I fought a lot of tough opponents, but I would say probably at this weight class she's the number one. She's beaten a lot of girls, she's pretty well-known."

In the same interview, Kelly opened up on her game plan against the nine-time BJJ world champion:

"I'll go in there and try not to focus on like what she's accomplished, and this is the first time we're competing against each other."

ONE Fight Night 24 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
