ONE Championship shared the entire footage of Mikey Musumeci's submission grappling world title defense against Jarred Brooks.
Musumeci made his ONE Championship debut in April 2022 after becoming a 5x BJJ world champion. The latest chapter of the American superstar's combat sports career has been filled with success, as he's established a 6-0 promotional submission grappling record, including three successful defenses of the ONE flyweight submission grappling world title.
In August 2023, Musumeci's latest world title defense featured an intriguing test against Brooks, the then-ONE strawweight MMA world champion. 'Darth Rigatoni' dominated 'The Monkey God' and retained his throne with a triangle armbar finish in the ONE Fight Night 13 co-main event.

Mikey Musumeci scheduled for two submission grappling matches under the ONE Championship banner
Mikey Musumeci's last submission grappling match was a non-title bout against Shinya Aoki in October 2023, which 'Darth Rigatoni' won by Aoki Lock. Musumeci now looks to continue building his legendary resume by booking two high-profile matchups over the next four months.
Firstly, Musumeci will face Gabriel Sousa on June 7 at ONE 167. The American superstar must be ready for a tough test, as Sousa has made a name for himself by securing gold in various grappling tournaments worldwide.
ONE 167 is scheduled to take place inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. American and Canadian viewers can see the event live and for free with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription.
Secondly, 'Darth Rigatoni' looks to become a two-division king when he goes up against ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion Kade Ruotolo. The fan-friendly matchup between undefeated superstars will take place on September 6 at ONE 168: Denver, which goes down inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado.
Tickets for ONE 168, the promotion's return to North America, can be found here.
