Honolulu native Teshya Noelani Alo, 28, is headed for one of grappling’s biggest spotlights. She has been booked to face rising submission ace Helena Crevar in a bantamweight submission grappling match on ONE Fight Night 39, a Prime Video card set to air in U.S. primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium on January 23 and 24, 2026. The ONE deal caps Alo’s breakout run on the open-tournament circuit and her unexpected pivot into stunt and on-screen work, as reported by ONE Championship.
Booked For ONE Fight Night 39
ONE Championship’s event page lists Crevar vs. Alo on the January 24 card at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium and confirms the promotion will kick off its U.S. primetime Fight Night slate with the Bangkok broadcast. The matchup is billed as a bantamweight submission grappling contest and sits among the first wave of announced bouts for the card, according to ONE Championship.
A Decorated Foundation In Wrestling And Judo
Alo’s base is old-school tough. She won the 2014 FILA Cadet World Championship and stacked up multiple national youth judo titles along with high school state crowns in Hawaii. Those early accomplishments built the aggressive takedown game and heavy top pressure that now define her style in pure grappling, as documented by USA Wrestling.
Rolling Through ADCC Opens
Throughout 2025, Alo tore through the ADCC Open circuit, grabbing multiple under-60 kg titles at stacked regional events and cementing herself as one of the year’s most dangerous lightweights. Coverage of the ADCC San Jose and Atlanta opens consistently shows Alo on the top step of the podium, momentum that now carries straight into her ONE debut, with results tracked by FloGrappling.
From Mats To Stunts
Competition is only half the story. Alo has turned her combat skills into screen time, earning stunt credits and working on the Apple TV+ epic Chief of War as a stunt performer. A feature from ONE Championship notes that she is a SAG-AFTRA stunt performer and credits the on-set grind with helping expand her profile beyond sports. For its part, Apple TV+ describes Chief of War as a Polynesian-led historical drama headlined by Jason Momoa that drew heavily on local fighters and stunt talent during production.
Hawaii Roots And Local Training
Despite the growing global spotlight, Alo keeps her Hawaii roots close. She trains out of Island Jiu Jitsu in Honolulu and stays tight with her sister, Teniya, who is also active on the BJJ scene. Features on Alo highlight everything from the sisters’ training footage to her off-mat interests, including a compact profile in Outlook India.
What To Watch
On paper, this one is a classic style clash. Alo brings veteran wrestling and judo fundamentals, while Crevar is known for fast-paced scrambles and sharp submission chains. Listings for ONE Fight Night 39 place their bout on the January 23 U.S. primetime schedule, which corresponds to January 24 locally in Bangkok, with the event set to stream in the United States. The specific fight slot and timing are laid out on event trackers such as Tapology.
