Reigning and undisputed ONE women's atomweight submission grappling world champion Mayssa Bastos of Brazil says the more she studies Danielle Kelly's game, the more holes she sees in her rival.
Bastos is getting ready to make the first defense of the golden belt against the woman she took it from this weekend, and the 27-year-old is more confident than ever.
Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Bastos says she has a few surprises for Kelly in their rematch.

The Art of Jiu-Jitsu Academy product stated:
"Studying our last fight I saw that she has some gaps in her game. At the moment I'm not going to say what those gaps are because I want to surprise her in the fight. But what I can say is that I intend to be a little more aggressive in this fight and make her expose herself more, because she will start to make a few more mistakes and then the gaps will appear."
Needless to say, fans will be watching closely as these two women compete once again in the world's largest martial arts organization. Bastos is confident she can repeat her performance against Kelly and perhaps get the win this time.
