"Them fighting words" - Fans eagerly bite on the drama behind Gabriel Sosua's rematch against Mikey Musumeci at ONE 167

The Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand will host ONE 167 on Friday, June 7 and one must-watch bout on the card is that of Mikey Musumeci and Gabriel Sousa's bantamweight submission grappling bout.

For the ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion in Musumeci, this bout carries great importance as it will give him a chance to avenge his 2021 defeat to the Brazilian star during their time outside of ONE Championship.

Sousa had an electric callout of 'Darth Rigatoni' where he accused Musumeci of making excuses after submitting him via north-south choke which ONE Championship posted on Instagram.

Fans were intrigued by Sousa's words and reacted accordingly in the comments section which can be read below:

""No more excuses!" Them fighting words."

"@gabrielsousabjj is him!!!🔥🔥😂"

"All of Brazil and the entire state of North Carolina rocking with @gabrielsousabjj"

"Oooh knowing this backstory does actually make it more interesting for me haha"

"1-1 coming up 🤘🏻"

It is worth noting that since his defeat to Sousa, Musumeci has been undefeated through nine contests and has four highlight reel-worthy submissions out of his six ONE Championship victories.
