“Amazing scrambles” – Atomweight submission grappling queen Danielle Kelly puts in the work for this nifty Anaconda choke
You don't want to be getting in a scramble with Danielle Kelly on the ground - you're going to have to play a game of catch-up. The ONE atomweight submission grappling world champion moves like a mouse with the vision of a hawk. She can maneuver and wiggle in and out of positions while catching submission opportunities on the fly.
If you don't believe us, watch this footage of her grappling in the gym as posted by ONE Championship:

Danielle Kelly teases next bout in cryptic Instagram post
It seems we'll get to hear Danielle Kelly's next opponent and whether it will be on US soil or not. In an Instagram post uploaded over a week ago, Kelly made it known that an announcement of her next match will happen soon. She wrote:
may have some match news … 🤙🏼staying focused
Two possible match-ups are looking good for Kelly right now, Jessa Khan and Tammi Musumeci. Kelly defeated Khan for the belt last year and is currently 1-1 with her rival. A rubber match might be interesting.
As for Musumeci, a possible match for the inaugural ONE strawweight submission grappling world title would be an enticing proposition for the atomweight queen.
