Craig Jones is not a fan of the style of Mikey Musumeci.
After having written history at the very first flight weight of one championship, Musumeci signed at the UFC earlier this year and the expansion of promotion to the competitive Jiu-Jitsu helped. However, not everyone thinks that ‘Darth Rigatoni’ is the man who brings new fans into sport.
During one Recent interview With former UFC and one flying weight King Demetrious Johnson, Jones suggested that the systematic approach of Musumeci of competitions will probably not bring the excitement that people are looking for.
“I think Mikey’s style is rather boring,” Jones said. “Like, it is very mechanical and predictable for me. People say he is super technical, but at the same time I think it is somewhat missing from creativity or dynamics. It is as if you are always looking at the same system – it just doesn’t bother me in a competitive match.”
Mikey Musumeci makes waves in the UFC after impressive run
During his run in one earned Musumeci Highlight-Reel ends against gripping legends such as Masakazu Imanari and Shinya Aoki. He also choked former One Strowight MMA world title holder Jarred Brooks in 2023.
After he had achieved everything he could in the Singapore -based organization, Musumeci signed an exclusive deal with the UFC in November 2024. He made his promotion debut at UFC Fight Pass Invitational 9 on December 5, 2024 and defeated Felipe Machado through decision.
Six months later he scored a heel-hook entry victory over Rerisson Gabriel on UFC BJJ 1 to become the inaugural UFC BJJ Bantamweight Champion.
