“Go take what’s yours” - Fans rally behind Mayssa Bastos ahead of world title challenge against Danielle Kelly in Bangkok
BJJ superstar and ONE atomweight submission grappling world title contender contender Mayssa Bastos is now ready and locked in for her upcoming world title match on August 2 at ONE Fight Night 24.
Bastos will be challenging the reigning atomweight submission grappling queen, Kelly, in front of the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ahead of her first world title opportunity, the Brazilian showed off her fight kit that she will be rocking on fight night, as she recently posted it on Instagram with the caption:
"Ready for the battle! @onechampionship This Friday night live on PrimeVideo #ONEFightNight24"
This photo in fight gear has pumped up her fans and showed their support for the BJJ black belter, especially users @frances.rose.whelan, @chefenforme, @vivi_thebrave, @lungnhai, and @josh.woolley.bjj, who commented:
"Let's go Professor!!!! 🔥🔥"

"@mayssabastos you're my killer 🔥🔥"

Mayssa Bastos looks to be the first athlete to beat Danielle Kelly in ONE Championship
Aside from seizing the golden opportunity and becoming the new undisputed ONE atomweight submission grappling world champion, the Brazilian superstar is also looking to be the first athlete to hand Kelly her first defeat under the world's largest martial arts organization.
Four previous opponents (Mei Yamaguchi, Mariia Molchanova, Ayaka Miura, and Jessa Khan) failed to solve the puzzle of the Silver Fox BJJ representative, and Bastos looks to be the first one to do so.
Currently, the Art of Jiu-Jits-affiliated athlete has a win under the ONE banner, when she unanimously beat Kanae Yamada in her promotional debut in March 2024 at ONE Fight Night 20.
ONE Fight Night 24 will air live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America on August 2 during U.S. primetime.
