Jessa Khan’s Journey to the ONE Championship Atomweight Title
Jessa Khan, a talented BJJ black belt, is preparing for one of the biggest matches of her career. After winning gold medals at the SEA Games and the IBJJF World Championships, Khan has earned a shot at the inaugural ONE Championship atomweight submission grappling title. Despite facing several bout cancellations, Khan’s recent form impressed the matchmakers, leading to an immediate title shot against Danielle Kelly at ONE Fight Night 14 on September 29th. As Khan shares her holiday snaps from the Bahamas, she remains relaxed and focused on the upcoming challenge.
Born in the US with Cambodian heritage, Khan has proudly represented her father’s country in various competitions. Her victory against Kelly in 2021 at a ‘Who’s Number One’ event sparked speculation about a rematch, which is now set to take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. With the title on the line, the stakes are higher than ever.
Despite the long wait to compete for ONE Championship, Khan has remained active in the sport. Earlier this year, she made her mark at the IBJJF World Championships, winning gold in the 118lbs division as a black belt. Khan’s impressive performance included defeating four opponents and securing a dramatic last-second sweep in the final. Now, as she prepares to compete without the gi at ONE Fight Night 14, Khan is determined to add another title to her collection.
