Danielle Kelly Stunned After Getting $50,000 Payday

Mar 27, 2022

Strawweight grappler Danielle Kelly appeared on ONE X, the 10th anniversary event of the Asian combat sports mega-promotion. 

The New Jersey-based black belt grappled Mei Yamaguchi to a draw but ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong was so impressed with her performance he gave her a $50,000 bonus. 

"I feel amazing," said Kelly. "It's been an emotional week and I'm just happy I can put women's jiu-jitsu out there around the world."
