Mikey Musumeci wants BJJ to be free of performance-enhancing drugs

Following his move to UFC, Mikey Musumeci has expressed his desire to free the sport of BJJ from steroids.

During an appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show, Musumeci talked about his hopes for BJJ after being acquired by the UFC and shared his thoughts on joining the organization.

He said:

''It's another platform that could expland our sport to people that wouldn't normally watch jiu-jitsu. It's another platform that will eventually have drug testing as well. It's another platform that could make our sport professional. Instead of all these steroids, all this craziness. I just want a legitimate, professional platform for athletes to have, for kids that are growing up so then they can dream of being a professional jiu-jitsu person."
