The exponential growth of combat sports continues to flourish because it is not only limited to professional athletes alone but it also overlaps with everyone now. People are now picking up various martial arts for different purposes.
One proof of this is the admiration of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and recently he was seen rolling on the mat with one of the best submission grapplers in the world, Mikey Musumeci.
ONE Championship shared this clip on their Instagram account, and they captioned the post with:
"Mikey and Zuck in action! 🤼♂️ Can 'Darth Rigatoni' turn his revenge into reality against Gabriel Sousa at ONE 167 on @primevideo? 👀 @mikeymusumeci"

In the video, the reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion was seen teaching Zuckerberg different techniques on how to perfectly execute various submissions in a smooth manner.
First, 'Darth Rigatoni' reversed the opposition against him and forced a tap. Then he finally revealed the correct steps for securing the armbar and the triangle choke. The tech mogul pulled off the submissions, much to the delight of Musumeci.
Mikey Musumeci wants to extend winning streak against rival Gabriel Sousa at ONE 167
Prior to his dominance in the world's largest martial arts organization, where he won all six of his bouts, Musumeci dropped a surprise defeat at the hands of Gabriel Sousa at Who's Number One in 2021.
Three years later, the Evolve MMA representative is now looking to avenge that loss from the Brazilian star on June 7 at ONE 167 during their bantamweight submission grappling match and keep his record unblemished under the promotion.
The 27-year-old BJJ savant has already defeated the likes of Masakazu Imanari, Cleber Sousa, Jarred Brooks, and Shinya Aoki.
ONE 167 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in North America in U.S. primetime on June 7. The card goes down inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand.
