Submission grappling star Mikey Musumeci will compete on American soil in his next match. Ahead of it, he's claimed that ONE Championship's live experience is far more exciting than any other MMA card that U.S. fans have watched.
ONE Fight Night 10 on Prime Video will mark the promotion's first time hosting an event in the United States, a truly historic feat. Mikey Musumeci will showcase his skills on the card against Yemen's Osamah Almarwai.
'Darth Rigatoni' asserts that ONE Championship puts on a far more exciting show than any other MMA promotion. He penned on Instagram:
"For the first time ever, the US will get to experience @onechampionship LIVE!! Since I can crawl I have been watching mma and have been to so many mma events in the US, but the experience of being at a @onechampionship event is something I had never experienced/felt in my life."

Mikey Musumeci hoping to inspire the next generation
The 26-year-old New Jersey native has always aimed to lead by example, and he's hoping to be an inspiration to the younger generation. He told Fightlore:
"The deep reason why I compete in jiu-jitsu is, one, I love it. I’ve been doing it since I was four years old. That’s 22 years training jiu-jitsu. I don’t know, it just became a part of my life."
Musumeci continued:
"I feel like why I continue to compete now is to have an impact on the next generation. I want people to watch me compete and then want to train jiu-jitsu as well."
With the help of fellow grapplers like Danielle Kelly and the Ruotolo brothers, Musumeci has brought a ton of positive attention to the sport under ONE's banner.
