Mikey Musumeci To Fight For First-Ever ONE Submission Grappling World Title

Multiple-time BJJ World Champion Mikey Musumeci will face his longtime foe and veteran star Cleber Sousa for the inaugural ONE Flyweight Submission Grappling World Title.

History will also be made at ONE on Prime Video 2, as the promotion will hold its first-ever World Title bout in submission grappling – a matchup that could also conclude a five-year rivalry.

Sousa drew first blood when he defeated Musumeci via referee’s decision at the IBJJF 2017 Pan Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

But the Italian-American phenom would exact his revenge one month later, as he beat Sousa on points at the 2017 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship.

Now, the two will engage in a rubber match that promises a golden World Title belt – and a place in BJJ lore – to the winner.
