Former ONE women's atomweight submission grappling world champion Danielle Kelly of the United States is heading into her highly anticipated rematch with conqueror Mayssa Bastos with no weight or pressure on her shoulders.
The 28-year-old Silver Fox BJJ representative is out to avenge a unanimous decision loss to her Brazilian counterpart she suffered last August. At ONE Fight Night 24, Kelly was narrowly edged out by Bastos, and lost her coveted ONE Championship belt in the process.
Now, the New Jersey native is out for revenge, and Kelly says she has nothing much to lose.

She told ONE Championship in a recent interview:
"I don’t feel any stress this time, which is pretty scary just because you’re kind of going out there, and you’re having this mindset of not having anything to lose."
Kelly joined the world's largest martial arts organization in March of 2022, and quickly jumped out to three victories and one draw.
Meanwhile, Bastos joined ONE just last August, beating Kelly in her debut to become champion.
Now, the two run it back in a much-awaited rehashing of their budding rivalry. It all comes to a head this weekend at ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video.
