"Eats nearly 7,000 calories" - Mikey Musumeci's insane carbohydrates-heavy diet, and more fascinating facts about the BJJ great

Several fans know Mikey Musumeci as the reigning undisputed ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion and one of the best BJJ practitioners today, but those facts were only the tip of the iceberg about him.

This is why ONE Championship published a slideshow on Instagram recently and highlighted a few more little-known information about Musumeci. They wrote the post's caption with:

"Learn more about "Darth Rigatoni" before he aims for revenge against Gabriel Sousa at ONE 167 😎 Will you be tuning in this Friday? @mikeymusumeci"

Other details revealed by the promotion of 'Darth Rigatoni' include winning almost half of the total gold medals that Americans have won at the IBJJF World Championships in the Gi, being the fifth man not from Brazil to win gold at the IBJJF, inventing his own submission technique called the 'Mikey Lock,' and following an insane diet of 7,000 calories of pizza and pasta each night.

Now, he is set to appear in his seventh bout in the world's largest martial arts organization, where he will face a familiar opponent, Gabriel Sousa, in a bantamweight submission grappling match on June 7 at ONE 167.
