ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion Mikey Musumeci is perhaps the most dangerous man in the world that doesn't look like one.
Upon first glance, 'Darth Rigatoni' looks like someone you'd mistake for a comic book nerd. His boyish smile and unassuming looks can be misleading as it only takes seconds for Musumeci to break a normal person in half.
Needless to say, Mikey Musumeci is one of the most lethal grapplers alive today, simply because of his work ethic and frightening approach to submissions. In an interview with Fightlore on YouTube, 'Darth Rigatoni' explained why his grappling style is so dangerous to deal with.
Musumeci said:
"I think my fighting style is just me attacking someone every second. I might not get the finish, I might get the finish. But I’m trying every second to get the finish. I just go for the kill every second."
For the ONE flyweight submission grappling king, offense is the best defense. His ability to just keep stringing his attacks and submission attempts together allows his opponents no room to mount any offense.
Add those to his unbelievably obsessive work ethic in the gym, and you won't be surprised why Mikey Musumeci is considered one of the very best today.

Mikey Musumeci faces Gantumur Bayanduuren at ONE on Prime Video 6
Mikey Musumeci will look to start the year strong by defending his ONE flyweight submission grappling world title for the first time on January 13.
ONE Fight Night 6 on Prime Video is looking to be one of the promotion's most high-profile events in recent years. The card will feature three world title fights, with a featherweight kickboxing world championship showdown as the main event.
Defending champion Superbon Singha Mawynn will finally lock horns with No. 1-ranked contender and ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix champion Chingiz Allazov.
In addition to having a pair of high-profile kickboxing world title fights, the card will have New jersey native Musumeci defending his throne against ONE newcomer Gantumur Bayanduuren.
The Mongolian grappling sensation recently captured a sambo world title for the first time in his career. One thing of note is that unlike other sambo specialists who have tried (and failed) to beat BJJ specialists in ONE, Bayanduuren holds a brown belt in jiu-jitsu.
Rounding out his world-class set of skills, Bayanduuren also has professional experience in mixed martial arts, boasting a respectable record of 3-1.
With all his grappling acumen and skills combined, Bayanduuren could pose a very real threat to Musumeci's throne at ONE Fight Night 6.
