Cleber Sousa posts Instagram reel of him beating Mikey Musumeci ahead of world title clash

Multi-time BJJ world champion Cleber Sousa will face Mikey Musumeci for ONE Championship's inaugural flyweight submission grappling world title. The clash between two of the best 135-pound jiu-jitsu fighters on the planet will have the entire grappling world watching as a new world champion emerges.

Ahead of their battle at ONE on Prime Video 2 on September 30, Sousa shared an Instagram reel of him beating Mikey Musumeci in competition back in 2017. Sousa beat Musumeci via a referee's decision in a razor-close bout.

Here's the post:

"Ready to surprise again. On the 30th, let’s make history!"

Musumeci also beat Sousa in the same year, albeit by points. This makes them 1-1 in their ongoing rivalry. What makes their third clash in ONE Championship interesting is that they'll be fighting each other without the gi for the first time.

Also, with the presence of the cage, the fight will look significantly different from their first two battles.

Regardless, expect a grappling battle of the highest order. Musumeci and Sousa stand atop their weight class and are both deserving of wearing gold around their waists.
