Danielle Kelly is on a winning spree in ONE Championship. Her last win came just a few days ago, about two minutes into the match; as she was able to beat the world Sambo champion Mariia Molchanova with a Rear Naked Choke.

Kelly put on a spectacular performance against Molchanova. Here’s a small reminder:
