Danielle Kelly (born December 4, 1995) is an American submission grappler and Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt who is currently competing in ONE Championship.[2] Kelly holds wins over fighters such as Roxanne Modafferi, Cynthia Calvillo and the former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion Carla Esparza.[3][4]

Career[edit]

Fury Pro Grappling[edit]

Kelly was scheduled to face Rose Namajunas at Fury Pro Grappling 3 on December 30, 2021.[5] However, Namajunas was forced to withdraw from the event at the last minute due to a positive Covid-19 test and was replaced by Carla Esparza. During the match, Esparza slammed Kelly from full guard and the resulting clash of heads opened up a cut above Esparza's eyebrow. The doctors attending called the match off and the victory was awarded to Kelly as a result of the injury.[6]

ONE Championship[edit]

On February 17, 2022, it was announced that Kelly signed with ONE Championship to compete in grappling, as well as mixed martial arts if she wished to.[7]

Kelly made her promotional debut against Japanese veteran Mei Yamaguchi in an atomweight submission grappling match at ONE: X on March 26, 2022.[8] The match ended in a draw after neither could find the submission.[9] This win earned her the Performance of the Night award.[10]

Kelly faced Sambo World Champion Mariia Molchanova at ONE on Prime Video 4 on November 18, 2022.[11] She won the fight via rear-naked choke.[12] This win earned her the Performance of the Night award.[13]

Kelly is scheduled to face Ayaka Miura at ONE on Prime Video 7 on February 10, 2023.[14]
