However, that doesn’t seem to be enough for the 27-year-old phenom. In addition to being the sport’s best, Musumeci also wants to be the most exciting.

In the recently concluded ONE Fight Night 13 post-event interviews last week, Musumeci talked about his performance in his latest world title defense, and if it pleased the fans in attendance.

‘Darth Rigatoni’ said:

“I'm just happy that the match was okay and there was a finish. And I'm always scared like, was it exciting enough? Was it boring? So I think it was okay.”

Reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion ‘Darth Rigatoni’ Mikey Musumeci successfully retained his gold by tapping out ONE strawweight MMA world champion ‘The Monkey God’ Jarred Brooks last Friday.
