“What the f*ck are you doing?” - Mikey Musumeci ‘cancels’ Ariel Helwani over pizza order

Reigning and undisputed ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion 'Darth Rigatoni' Mikey Musumeci of the United States was a recent guest on the popular podcast/interview show The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani to talk jiu-jitsu. However, a hilarious interaction took place between the two when the topic shifted to pizza.

Helwani said that among his favorite pizza toppings were 'green olives and pineapple' which he described as a combination of 'sweet and salty'.

Musumeci, an Italian-American who grew up eating mainly just pizza and pasta, immediately reacted.

​

'Darth Rigatoni' said:

​

"You're canceled now, bro, canceled. You can't (put) pineapple on a pizza. What the fuck are you doing? Just don’t call it pizza!"

Musumeci added that you can't insult pizza like that as far as Italians are concerned. He said:

"You get canceled for anything with the Italians, they're really strict what you put on it, you know? I remember, Ariel, I was learning how to make pizza, and I posted a picture of me rolling dough, like a pizza roll, just a roller, right. And then I got all these messages from angry Italians. In Italy, we don't do that. How dare you. So even I almost got canceled just for that. So that's not pizza."
