Revisit Mikey Musumeci's impressive submission win against Osamah Almarwai.
In May 2023, Musumeci attempted to defend his ONE flyweight submission grappling world title for the third time against Almarwai. At the time, 'Darth Rigatoni' was coming off wins against Masakazu Imanari, Cleber Sousa, and Gantumur Bayanduuren, while Almarwai was making his promotional debut.
Almarwai has experience competing in world-class tournaments and did a good job of defending Musumeci's attacks. Unfortunately for the Yemen-born fighter, the reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world title secured a rear-naked choke with less than two minutes left in the match.

Meanwhile, Osamah Almarwai failed to bounce back when he suffered an armbar loss against Cleber Sousa in March.
Mikey Musumeci plans to secure biggest win of combat sports career against Kade Ruotolo
Mikey Musumeci has solidified himself as one of the primary superstars in ONE Championship's expansion into submission grappling.
Seven opponents have failed to defeat him in the promotion, so it's time for 'Darth Rigatoni' to be tested by another undefeated grappler who's also a world champion.
On Sept. 6, Musumeci looks to become a two-division world champion when he challenges ONE lightweight submission grappling king Kade Ruotolo. The must-see matchup at ONE 168: Denver is expected to be one of the greatest grappling matches of all time.
Heading into ONE 168, Ruotolo holds a 6-0 promotional grappling record, including his latest match against Francisco Lo at ONE Fight Night 21. The 21-year-old superstar also made his professional MMA debut last time out, submitting Blake Cooper in round one of their ONE 167 matchup.
ONE 168 goes down inside the Ball Arena in Denver, Colorado. Tickets for the highly-anticipated event can be found on Ticketmaster.
