“I already know her game”- Mayssa Bastos confident there will be no more surprises in rematch with Danielle Kelly

Mayssa Bastos already knows what to expect from Danielle Kelly. Bastos shocked the world in August when she scored a unanimous decision victory over Kelly to claim the ONE atomweight submission grappling world championship.

Now, the Brazilian returns to martial arts' biggest global stage to defend her crown against Kelly in one of the most anticipated rematches in ONE grappling history this Friday night, Dec. 6.

Emanating from the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, Bastos is confident she'll again see her hand raised against Kelly at ONE Fight Night 26 and confirm her status as the promotion's unofficial submission grappling queen.

After all, she's already faced Kelly at her best and came out on top. Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Bastos said:

"I already know her game, I can study her game more and I can find an easier way to come out with victory".

Mayssa Bastos knows Danielle Kelly is still as dangerous as ever ahead of anticipated rematch

While Bastos expects to see Danielle Kelly break out the same moves she tried in their first meeting at ONE Fight Night 24, the nine-time IBJJF world champion knows she can't rest on her laurels against someone as dangerous as the Silver Fox BJJ star:

"Danielle Kelly's Jiu-Jitsu is very good. I don't have much to say. She was once the division champion and is now trying to regain the title. Her Jiu-Jitsu is very aggressive and I think the titles she has won speak for themselves."

Will Kelly even the series and reclaim the ONE atomweight submission grappling world title, or will Mayssa Bastos prove herself as the greatest female grappler in the world today?

Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE Fight Night 26 live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, Dec. 6 in U.S. primetime.
