"Both ladies are beasts" - Fans hyped up for world title rematch between Mayssa Bastos, Danielle Kelly at ONE Fight Night 26
A blockbuster world title rematch was booked by ONE Championship on Dec. 6 at ONE Fight Night 26, as Mayssa Bastos looks to reassert her mastery over Danielle Kelly in their ONE atomweight submission grappling world title match inside the iconic Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
ONE Championship officially announced this on their Instagram account, and they wrote the post's caption with:
"RUN IT BACK 👑 Former queen Danielle Kelly seeks to reclaim the ONE Women's Atomweight Submission Grappling World Title from rival Mayssa Bastos on December 6 at ONE Fight Night 26 on @primevideo! Who wins the rematch? @daniellekellybjj @mayssabastos"
The two BJJ black belters first crossed paths in August at ONE Fight Night 24 in an entertaining match, which went down at the same venue, and Bastos got the unanimous decision nod from the judges to become the new queen of the division. Kelly, on the other hand, will look to avenge that defeat and reclaim her lost throne.
This exciting announcement by ONE Championship has hyped up the fans, especially users @itsmemushu, @jeff_lith, @danielpitlock, @leinbergerjason, and @grmoraes5, who already sent their excitement and picks for the upcoming rematch, as they commented:
"Both ladies are beasts! Can't wait to see what happens again!!!"
"Kelly is dope, has a cool story but Bastos is simply better at JiuJitsu."
"the first one was a good scrap"
"A rematch time 4 round 2"
"Best out of 3?"
