Should Mayssa Bastos face Danielle Kelly in rematch later this year?
Mayssa Bastos was behind on the scorecards at ONE Fight Night 24 due to Danielle Kelly scoring a catch.
The new women's atomweight submission grappling queen later secured her own catch and pursued the judges by continuing to hunt for a submission finish.
Despite Bastos' clutch efforts, some fans believe Kelly deserved to retain the world title. Therefore, an immediate rematch was quickly discussed within the submission grappling community, especially considering how entertaining the 10-minute co-main event was.
Although it's unconfirmed by ONE, Bastos vs. Kelly II would be the perfect matchup to add to a high-profile event later this year. The second meeting would also have high expectations for entertainment, as both world-class grapplers will likely remain active knowing the judges' decision could've gone either way.
