Reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion ‘Darth Rigatoni’ Mikey Musumeci simply cannot wait to step back inside the circle and put on a show for American fans in ONE Championship’s historic first-ever on-ground US event in a few weeks.
In fact, he has admittedly taken his training to the next level, even rolling with Mark Zuckerberg at the Facebook CEO’s house and returning to the United States to hone his skills in Las Vegas.
In a recent interview with the South China Morning Post, Musumeci said he’s excited to show fans what he’s been working on and that it’s going to be exciting:
“That’s why I’m a little crazy right now. I’m super aggressive in training more than ever. I think it’s gonna come out in the match.”
