Mikey Musumeci, the reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling kingpin, is set to take on a mixed martial arts world champion in his next world title defense. On August 4, Musumeci will face off against Jarred Brooks, the current ONE strawweight world champion, in the first of two title fights at ONE Fight Night 13 : Allazov vs. Grigorian on Prime Video.
Brooks, also known as ‘Darth Rigatoni,’ is renowned for his aggressive style both inside and outside the ring. With impressive wrestling credentials, he will be stepping into the realm of grappling-exclusive matches for the first time. His opponents often find themselves at the mercy of his violent takedowns, slams, and overwhelming pressure on the ground.
Musumeci, a standout from Evolve MMA, acknowledges that Brooks will bring a unique skill set to the table, unlike any of his previous challengers. In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Musumeci stated, ‘He’s going to come out as an MMA person. He’s going to come out with a different aggression.’ Brooks himself echoed this sentiment in his interview with the Singapore-based promotion, expressing his plan to approach the grappling match with an MMA mentality.
While Brooks may not possess the same level of grappling credentials as Musumeci’s previous opponents, he has proven his submission skills in the world of MMA with eight wins by submission. Musumeci, on the other hand, has defeated jiu-jitsu savants such as Masakazu Imanari, Cleber Souza, Osamah Almarwai, and Sambo specialist Gantumur Bayanduuren.
The upcoming fight between Musumeci and Brooks is highly anticipated, as it will test Musumeci’s invincibility and determine if Brooks holds the key to solving this unsolvable puzzle. ONE Fight Night 13 will be broadcast live from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium and will be available for free to existing Prime Video subscribers in North America.
