"I feel like the highs come from uncertainty and obstacles that we face, and challenging ourselves and facing them again, you know? We either fall or we overcome, right? If we fall then we learn for it and then we go again."

Musumeci is currently unbeaten in ONE Championship, and he wants to continue to impress the fans with his performances. He added:

"That’s what I wanna be known for, for me that’s more meaningful, and constantly seeking growth. Constantly seeking improvement, that’s what I wanna be known for."
