Mikey Musumeci is not just one of the most successful Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes in history, but he’s also one of the most beloved ones. Fans have embraced him for his honest and good-natured behavior; which, combined with being ultra successful, has paid a lot of dividends… Including a recent appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast!
Mikey spoke about many different things, including his unique diet (spoiler alert: he only eats pizza, pasta, and acai) and what his motivation is these days.
Surprisingly enough, it’s not about winning titles anymore:
So yeah… I’ve won every title there is, in the gi, in Jiu-Jitsu – you know? So, right now I’m focusing on no-gi and ONE Championship especially; because now they’re going to have belts and divisions.
And my goal in Jiu-Jitsu isn’t about the titles. [Rather] it’s about helping the next generation and impacting people in the next generation, you know?
Mikey explained that titles may come and go, but helping others achieve their goals is something which will always be remembered:
Because, a title you win [this year]. Next year, someone else will win it, then next year someone else will… But, our impact on people training Jiu-Jitsu, our impact on inspiring people – that’s my goal with Jiu-Jitsu.
