Lee and Kelly have spoken about each other and taken some digs as well. Lee was of the opinion that she could easily submit Kelly if they were to face off.

In a recent interview with ‘The Schmo’, Kelly talked about Lee as a potential future opponent. When she was asked if they would come face to face, she said, “Yes, if she takes the match.”

When The Schmo asked what would stop Lee from accepting a match against her, the American grappler said, “Because she probably knows my jiu-jitsu is better than hers.”

The BJJ star went on to talk about her previous match with UFC’s Carla Esparza. The match ended with Esparza bleeding after enduring a big cut while grappling. Kelly thus won the bout.
