Danielle Kelly To Defend Atomweight Title Against Mayssa Bastos At ONE Fight Night 24

BJJ superstar Danielle Kelly will make the first defense of her ONE Atomweight Submission Grappling World Championship in U.S. primetime. She will take to the ring in Lumpinee Boxing Stadium on Friday, August 2, at ONE Fight Night 24. Getting the first crack at the gold will be Mayssa Bastos.

Kelly won the inaugural title over her rival Jessa Khan at ONE Fight Night 14. The historic night was important for Kelly, but now she wears an even bigger target on her back by wearing the gold. It is a burden she believes she is ready to carry.
