Casual MMA fans have been gravitating towards nogi grappling over the past few years, but the gi continues to get no love. The slower paced action of the gi isn’t for everyone, but there is one young man who might be able to get more eyes on the sport.
At just 22 years-old, Mikey Musumeci has won it all and last weekend he cut down a weight class and managed to defeat one of the greatest grapplers of all-time. Bruno Malfacine is a 10-time world champ, but Musumeci was able to overcome him and win on points in the semi finals.
