Mikey Musumeci impressed with Osamah Almarwai’s finish of 'Giant Slayer'

Grappling sensation Mikey Musumeci is impressed with his upcoming opponent's submission of Esteven 'The Giant Slayer' Martinez.

Mikey Musumeci will look to defend his flyweight submission grappling world title against promotional debutant Osamah Almarwai at ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video on May 5.

The New Jersey native is impressed with the IBJJF no-gi world champion, telling the Jiu-Jitsu Times:

"He plays reverse de la Riva very well. He’s very good at strategy in IBJJF with points, but he also has very good submissions. He submitted Giant Slayer – someone I couldn’t submit! – so he has very good submissions. Estevan is so hard to submit because he has very small limbs, and they’re so hard to finish, but Osamah was able to get him in an arm triangle, I think, and it was very impressive."

'Darth Rigatoni' is a perfect 3-0 inside the circle, with victories over Masakazu Imanari, Cleber Souza, and most recently, Gantumur Bayanduuren.

ONE Fight Night 10 is ONE Championship’s first on-site US event, which will transpire at 1stBank Center in Colorado. The entire card will be broadcast live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America.

Mikey Musumeci welcomes competing against BJJ specialist Osamah Almarwai

The 26-year-old has never shyed away from a challenge, and he's welcoming the opportunity to grapple against a world-class specialist like Almarwai.

He told ONE:

“It won’t be one person with anti-jiu-jitsu running away [from the BJJ player] – Osamah will come in, and exchange with me using jiu-jitsu. MMA fans and people that really don’t watch jiu-jitsu will still be able to appreciate it, which is always my goal in ONE Championship.”

Musumeci is excited to compete in front of fans from his home nation, as ONE Fight Night 10 will serve as the promotion's first-ever event in North America.

Yemen's Almarwai owns a BJJ black belt under Andre Galvao and he's considered to be one of the top jiu-jitsu practitioners on earth.
