Marcus \u2018Buchecha\u2019 Almeida believes Mikey Musumeci will display his underrated top game against Osamah Almarwai at ONE Fight Night 10.<\/p>\n
On May 5, at the promotion\u2019s highly anticipated on-site US debut at 1stBank Center in Colorado, \u2018Darth Rigatoni\u2019 will look to make a successful second world title defense of his ONE flyweight submission grappling crown.<\/p>\n
\u2018Buchecha\u2019, who\u2019s widely considered among the best Brazilian jiu-jitsu practitioners of all-time, is a big fan of Musumeci\u2019s intricate yet extremely entertaining style.<\/p>\n
Musumeci, of course, is perhaps best known for his dangerous attacking guard off his back, which he used in his world title-winning performance against Cleber Sousa.<\/p>\n
\u2018Buchecha\u2019, though, thinks the New Jersey native will be the aggressor against fellow BJJ blackbelt Osamah Almarwai. He told ONE Championship:<\/p>\n
\u201cBeing honest, his passing game is really good. He has really good techniques passing. We don\u2019t see him much on top, but once he gets on top, for sure we\u2019re gonna see a lot of pressure and I think because of that, he wants to test himself so we\u2019re gonna see a lot of top game for sure.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Those who watched Musumeci during his stellar BJJ career know he\u2019s a crafty grappler who can pull off submissions from anywhere. We\u2019ve seen glimpses of his top game brilliance inside the circle, particularly in his promotional debut against the legendary Masakazu Imanari.<\/p>\n
\u2018Darth Rigatoni\u2019 applied crushing pressure in order to pass the Japanese icon\u2019s guard and take his back. From there, he announced his entry to the Singapore-based promotion with a sensational rear-naked choke finish.<\/p>\n
