Tammi Musumeci says she can make 115 lbs. despite self-professed love for custard

American grappling specialist Tammi Musumeci says that she can make the atomweight limit, but her love of eating sweets prevents her from doing so.

The 28-year-old made her promotional debut at ONE Fight Night 8 on Prime Video, beating Bianca Basílio by unanimous decision.

After the win, Musumeci spoke to the South China Morning Post (SCMP) about what's keeping her from competing at 115 lbs. She stated:

"Dude, I love custard. We have this custard place near my house. You can turn it upside down and it doesn’t like [fall]. It’s so good. But I can definitely make 115 at this point in this organization. I could definitely, with eating and cutting out ice cream probably a little sooner and stuff. I definitely want to do 115 and 125."
