Danielle Kelly explains why she chose to make ONE Championship the home of her grappling career.
Competitive grappling has changed a ton in recent years. Now, more than ever, athletes are able to make money competing, as there’s a bigger appetite for the sport and there are many opportunities for grapplers.
For Kelly, who returns on Sept. 29 in a rematch against Jessa Khan for the inaugural ONE women’s atomweight submission grappling title, signing with ONE Championship was a no-brainer. “Also, I feel like ONE is trying to push women’s jiu-jitsu and fighting, whereas other promotions they’re not pushing women’s jiu-jitsu, it’s just the guys, and me being a girl, I like that. ONE is pushing women’s sports.”
She thinks that’s been an area many promotions have failed, as their ruleset doesn’t attract non-grappling viewers.
