"Happy 4th of July to all my friends and followers 🎉 no beach fun for me, but I'm looking forward to putting on a show for you guys soon."
Kelly is one of the most exciting submission grapplers of her generation, and she showed a glimpse of her intense training camp for ONE Fight Night 24.
Intent on pushing the pace against Bastos, Kelly was seen practicing her takedown offense in what could be one of her main weapons when she puts her strap on the line in Bangkok.
Kelly holds an undefeated 3-0-1 record in ONE Championship, and her lone draw was in her promotional debut against Mei Yamaguchi at ONE X.
The Philadelphia native holds wins over Sambo world champion Mariia Molchanova, former ONE women's strawweight world title contender Ayaka Miura, and IBJJF world champion Jessa Khan.
ONE Fight Night 24 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.

These events, no matter how difficult, became part of Kelly's identity and she used those as motivation in her ascend to the throne.
"Glad I've been through a lot, made me a monster 🦍."
