Osamah Almarwai will go into the bout with 22 career wins to his credit and world-class submission skills thanks to his training with BJJ legend Andre Galvao. He will need all that, and maybe a little bit more, when he meets the New Jersey native and five-time IBJJF world champion, Mikey Musumeci.

Etching his name in the history books by becoming the promotion’s first-ever submission grappling world champion in September, ‘Darth Rigatoni’ started off 2023 in spectacular fashion, scoring a brilliant decision victory over Mongolia’s Gantumur Bayanduuren.

Will Musumeci score back-to-back title defenses or will Osamah Almarwai shock the world and become the promotion’s latest submission sensation?

Amazon Prime Video subscribers in North America can catch ONE Fight Night 10 live and for free in U.S. primetime on May 5.
