Demetrious Johnson open to a grappling-only bout with Mikey Musumeci: “What do I have to lose?”

Reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion ‘Darth Rigatoni’ Mikey Musumeci already has a showdown with MMA world champion Jarred Brooks locked in a couple of weeks from now, but he’s already got another potential challenger lined up in ONE flyweight world champion Demetrious ‘Mighty Mouse’ Johnson.

Johnson recently posted a video on his gaming YouTube channel, Mighty Gaming, where he talks about a potential showdown with the pasta-loving submissions expert.

‘Mighty Mouse’ said:

“I know absolutely, that in the grappling world, he is so much better than me. So much better than me. But I'm at the point in my career like what do I have to lose? I have nothing to lose, boys. Especially when it's just grappling.”

Of course, a rumored grappling showdown between Musumeci and Johnson has been floating around for quite some time right now. So it could come as no surprise if and when this fight is announced.

Meanwhile, fans can look forward to how Musumeci will look against an MMA fighter in his prime when he meets Brooks in a few weeks.
