Watch: Danielle Kelly showcases her wrestling with a quick takedown

ONE Championship's grappling superstar Danielle Kelly made her triumphant debut with the promotion at the promotion's 10th-anniversary event ONE X in March.

There, she faced Mei Yamaguichi in a submission grappling contest. Kelly's work was so impressive that she was rewarded with a $50,000 performance bonus.
