The highly anticipated rematch between submission grappling stars Mayssa Bastos and Danielle Kelly is set for ONE Fight Night 26, scheduled for December 6 at the historic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand. This follows their thrilling ten minute battle at ONE Fight Night 24 in August, a contest that captivated fans and displayed the technical prowess of two of the sport’s elite.
Brazilian jiu-jitsu specialist Bastos will be defending her atomweight submission grappling title against Kelly, the same opponent from whom she won it in their previous encounter. In that match, Bastos’ skillful guard game and masterful back taking abilities ultimately earned her the victory in a unanimous decision, adding another prestigious title to her collection. Known for her remarkable achievements in Brazilian jiu jitsu, Bastos showcased why she is one of the sport’s most decorated athletes, neutralizing Kelly’s aggressive attacks and turning the match into a display of strategic mastery.
Kelly, however, was far from satisfied with the decision, determined to reclaim the title she felt narrowly slipped away. Hailing from Philadelphia, the American grappler has proven herself with impressive victories over top competitors like Mariia Molchanova, Ayaka Miura, and Jessa Khan. With her aggressive approach and technical expertise, Kelly will enter the ring more motivated than ever to secure the title she has long pursued.
ONE Fight Night 26 promises to be an unforgettable evening, as fans around the world eagerly await another showcase of high level grappling between Bastos and Kelly. Their rematch will serve as a co-main event on a night featuring MMA, Muay Thai, and submission grappling, making it one of the most anticipated cards of the year.
