​Submission grappling’s pound-for-pound queen Helena Crevar dazzled the world in her global stage debut, and she is already plotting an even more commanding encore.The 19-year-old phenom squares off against American debutant Paige Ivette Clymer in a 10-minute openweight submission grappling contest at The Inner Circle 22, streaming exclusively for members on live.onefc.com from Bangkok’s historic Lumpinee Stadium on Friday, July 17.Crevar’s inaugural ONE appearance left absolutely no room for debate. The Las Vegas native needed just 100 seconds to dismantle Teshya Noelani Alo with a slick Estima lock at ONE Fight Night 39 last January, setting an impossibly high bar for her sophomore outing.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHowever, her upcoming adversary brings serious credentials and an imposing physical presence. A 2026 ADCC West Coast Trials winner and black belt under Keenan Cornelius at Legion American Jiu-Jitsu, Clymer is an all-action force with a game built specifically to break people.Crevar has never shied away from a physical challenge, and Clymer’s stature adds an entirely new dimension to what is already a fascinating stylistic matchup.She said:“She’s a super accomplished athlete.

Under the tutelage of legendary coach John Danaher, the Texas-based athlete has built the technical foundation and unshakeable confidence to handle whatever is thrown at her.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSurrounded daily by some of the finest grapplers on the planet at Kingsway Jiu-Jitsu, including submission grappling icon Gordon Ryan, Crevar has continued adding dangerous new layers to an already formidable game.Crevar said:“The preparation hasn’t been much different. I’ve competed against bigger people in the past. It’s really just about trying to improve my techniques and using them to work with bigger and stronger people.“I’m lucky that I have a lot of bigger training partners at the gym, so I’ve been going with as many bigger people as I can. People that can challenge me with both the strength and the technical aspects.”Grinding out points has never been Crevar’s style, making ONE’s submission-focused format a natural fit.Now, the grappling world watches intently to see if she can raise that bar once more against a considerably stiffer test.She declared:“It’s always a submission from me. In any position we end up in, I’ll try to get the submission and win that way. I’m going to keep l
