Mikey Musumeci says result of Gabriel Sousa rematch will be different from first encounter: "I’m a whole f*****g different person"
'Darth Rigatoni' Mikey Musumeci will welcome the last man to defeat and submit him to the world's largest martial arts organization.
Gabriel Sousa tapped the Italian-American out to a north-south choke at Who's Number One in 2021, and Musumeci has wanted revenge ever since.
He told ONE Championship:
“I’m a whole f*****g different person. And he is too. He got way more technical too, of course, probably in that span of time. He worked hard too and got better."
