“We’ll see if I f**k him up” - Mikey Musumeci pumped for dogfight against former tormentor Gabriel Sousa
Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion 'Darth Rigatoni' Mikey Musumeci of the United States is excited to take on the last man to beat and submit him. Former IBJJF world champion Gabriel Sousa tapped 'Darth Rigatoni' out with a north-south choke at Who's Number One in 2021, and now, Musumeci is out for revenge.
For the 27-year-old BJJ star, there's nothing more important than getting this win back, and Musumeci is expecting an absolute barnburner of a grappling match.
He told ONE Championship in a recent interview:
“And I want him to dogfight with me. And then we’ll see who’s standing after that. We’ll see if I get f****d up. We’ll see if I f**k him up. We’ll see. That’s what’s awesome about these matches. It pushes our will.”
'Darth Rigatoni' Mikey Musumeci is set to lock horns with Gabriel Sousa at ONE 167: Tawanchai vs. Nattawut II on Prime Video. The event broadcasts live from the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
