Teen Prodigy Breaks Down Old Foe Ahead of ONE Fight Night 39

Eighteen-year-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu prodigy Helena Crevar analyzed her upcoming bantamweight submission grappling showdown against fellow American Teshya Noelani Alo at ONE Fight Night 39 on Friday, January 23, at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

Helena Crevar expressed confidence in her ability to submit the 28-year-old Honolulu native, who brings three 2025 ADCC Open Championships, as well as her extensive judo and wrestling credentials, into this highly anticipated ONE Championship debut clash.

The teenage sensation became the youngest ADCC World Championship podium finisher at just 17 years old with her 2024 silver-medal performance. In addition, Crevar earned her black belt in 2025 and submitted all of her opponents en route to the 2025 IBJJF No-Gi World Title, establishing herself as one of the top pound-for-pound submission grapplers in the scene today.
