“My expectations are very high” - Mayssa Bastos says she is coming into Danielle Kelly rematch at her best

Reigning and undisputed ONE women's atomweight submission grappling world champion Mayssa Bastos of Brazil knows she needs to be at her absolute best if she wants a repeat performance against former divisional queen Danielle Kelly this weekend.

Bastos and Kelly are set to run it back in a highly anticipated world title rematch. The 27-year-old Art of Jiu-Jitsu Academy representative says she will need to be even better this time around.

Speaking to ONE Championship in a recent interview, Bastos talked about the need to put together a better performance against Kelly in their do-over.

Bastos said:

"My preparation is going very good. I have been training a lot in No Gi. Usually, I train a lot with kimono and No Gi, because I fight all year long in kimono and No Gi. But since my first fight against Danielle Kelly, I have been focusing more on No Gi."

She added:

"After the first fight against her, I fought in the ADCC and now I have this new fight against Danielle. So I haven't stopped training. My expectations are very high to win better and fight better than I did in the first fight."
