ONE Championship’s Danielle Kelly focused on grappling career, but sees jump to MMA inevitable

There’s no set date, but MMA is bound to be some part of Danielle Kelly’s combat sports career.

The standout grappler currently signed with ONE Championship is confident she’ll make a transition into MMA at some point in her career. For now, Kelly is currently focused on furthering her grappling career but keeps MMA in mind.

“I still have to prove myself a lot in jiu-jitsu,” Kelly told MMA Junkie. “If I make the jump to MMA right away, I won’t feel I’m complete. Some things will have to be negotiated, but when that time comes, I’ll be ready just whenever that is, but right now I’m focused on jiu-jitsu.”
