ONE strawweight mixed martial arts world champion Jarred Brooks may have been defeated by ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion Mikey Musumeci when he challenged him at ONE Fight Night 13: Allazov vs. Grigorian on Prime Video for his world title, but he has nonetheless gained an experience that will last a lifetime.
During his most recent interview with the South China Morning Post, ‘The Monkey God’ admitted that it was an honor to confront ‘Darth Rigatoni’ in his sport of skill and credited both him and the crowd for making the event more unforgettable.
The person in their 30s stated:
“But man, I must say that it was a privilege to compete against him. In addition to this, he is an exceptionally wonderful person. Man. To sense his energy inside of the whole filled arena, it’s like stepping into a giant energy ball when you get into that ring.”

Brooks felt confident in his prospects against Musumeci when he accepted the fight on a few weeks’ notice, since he has a strong experience in wrestling, which allowed him to win and submit Lito Adiwang and Bokang Masunyane in mixed martial arts (MMA). Musumeci has a good foundation in wrestling, which allowed him to win and submit Lito Adiwang and Bokang Masunyane in mixed martial arts (MMA).
Unfortunately for Brooks, Musumeci was simply on an other level when it came to grappling. His years of training had earned him a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and this proved to be too much for Brooks to handle.
In the event that the American champion does decide to compete in mixed martial arts (MMA), the Evolve MMA representative is willing to fight him again.
Musumeci is getting ready for his openweight submission grappling bout against Shinya Aoki, who is a former ONE lightweight world champion. The match is scheduled to take place on October 6 for ONE Fight Night 15, which will take place inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium. Musumeci suffered from a bad case of food illness in Bangkok just one week ago.
