"In the first fight I got this performance bonus and my goal is to get this award again. In fact, my goal is to have a better performance and come out with a victory by submission. If I win the prize, I will save and invest it like I did last time."
Bastos is currently 2-0 in ONE Championship and has made her mark in the world's largest martial arts organization. She returns to the ONE ring this weekend to rematch Kelly and prove once and for all that she's the rightful ruler of the atomweight throne.
