Danielle Kelly thinks Mayssa Bastos won't bring anything new to the mat when they run back their ONE Fight Night 24 clash this Friday night.
In August, Bastos shocked the BJJ community when she landed a unanimous decision victory over Kelly to claim the ONE atomweight submission grappling world championship. Now, they'll run it back on December 6 when the promotion heads back to Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok for ONE Fight Night 26 on Prime Video.

It will be Bastos' first time defending the atomweight crown, but she has stayed busy over the last several months by competing all over the world — including at this year's ADCC tournament.

Commenting on Bastos' evolution as a grappler, Kelly says she hasn't seen much different from the reigning champ than what she got out of her during their first meeting.
"But I feel, even just from watching her ADCC match, which was like two weeks after our first match together, she didn't really change much," Kelly told ONE Championship.
Danielle Kelly is comfortable going anywhere Mayssa Bastos wants to take their rematch
Confident that Mayssa Bastos will come out running the same old playbook, Danielle Kelly believes she can handle whatever the champ throws at her.
"I'm comfortable playing everywhere," Kelly added. "I'm comfortable playing wrestling. I don't think her wrestling's that good at all, which is why I was trying to get a reaction out of her in the last match."
Before coming up short against Bastos over the summer, Kelly was unbeaten under the ONE banner, going toe-to-toe with Japanese legend Mei Yamaguchi before rattling off wins against Mariia Molchanova, Ayaka 'Zombie' Miura, and longtime rival Jessa Khan.
Will Kelly check another name off her hit list and get a bit of retribution — and reclaim her title — in the process, or will Bastos prove that she's got Kelly's number and go two-up on the Silver Fox BJJ star?
Fans in the United States and Canada can watch ONE Fight Night 26 live on Amazon Prime Video on Friday, December 6 in U.S. primetime.
