“Two living legends” - Fans combine Mikey Musumeci with Rodtang to create dream fighter

Mikey Musumeci and Rodtang Jitmuangnon are two of the most dominant world champions in ONE Championship today. Musumeci is the reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion, while Rodtang has held the ONE flyweight Muay Thai world title with an iron fist for a few years now.

Though they are absolute masters of their respective martial arts, the two modern-day legends have dabbled in each other's worlds. 'Darth Rigatoni' has been seen training in the 'Art of Eight Limbs' lately. Rodtang, on the other hand, is steadily training in jiu-jitsu, even having competed in a mixed-rules bout with MMA legend and ONE flyweight MMA world champion Demetrious Johnson last year.

Mikey Musumeci and Rodtang are also friends and have been seen hanging out and training together in the past. In a recent post by Mikey Musumeci on Instagram, we saw the two warriors posing for a photo at Rodtang's home gym in Thailand:

"With my bro @rodtang_jimungnon ❤️"

Fans are absolutely loving this interaction between two world champions of different sports and are flooding the comments section with words of praise:

"How crazy the thought would be if they train each other for a possible debut in mma in the coming years. Absolute beasts of their division, would love to see that. ❤️‍🔥"

@unholy_verse_ would love to have the two in a zombie apocalypse crew:

"I'm picking you two guys for team in case of zombis apocalypse. 🤝🤝🤝"
