Right from the get-go, Musumeci went into his trademark attack mode and went for submissions early. After some scrambles and a short stalemate against the cage, 'Darth Rigatoni' used an arm trap to bait Bayanduuren into a leglock.

From that point forward, what the BJJ phenom did to Bayanduuren's leg was something even seasoned grapplers found difficult to watch.

First, Musumeci locked in his signature 'Mikey Lock', effectively breaking his foe's ankle. After Bayanduuren miraculously wiggled his way out of the submission, 'Darth Rigatoni' transitioned his hold into a myriad of tight heel hooks and knee bars.

Bayanduuren's knee twisted out of alignment more times than we can count. Musumeci was switching his attacks and was getting more and more intense every time he twisted his challenger's limb. Still, the tough Mongolian never accepted defeat and refused to tap. The match ended with Mikey Musumeci retaining his belt via a unanimous decision.

At ONE Fight Night 15 on October 6, catch Mikey Musumeci step inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium to face one of MMA's rare grappling purists, Shinya Aoki.
