ONE Championship: Mikey Musumeci To Defend Title Against Sayan Khertek (Sambo World Champion)

Mikey Musumeci, the reigning ONE flyweight submission grappling world champion, is set for another challenge… This time against Sayan Khertek, a Sambo world champion – in a title defense fight!

The match was announced for January 13, via ONE Championship‘s social media:

Musumeci’s last fight was against Cleber Sousa, back in September. Having defeated Sousa and secured the title, “Darth Rigatoni” was asking for a match against a Sambo specialist.

Now, his wish has come true. Khertek is a 2022 world champion in Sambo – a title he won back in 2017 as well. And, although he is relatively unknown to the submission grappling audience, the 35-year old Russian is going to pose a dangerous threat to Musumeci.

But, despite the obvious challenge in front of him, the BJJ audience can be certain that Musumeci will compete with a full heart.
With a heart full not just of love towards competing, but also to Jiu-Jitsu itself:

What is incredible is that even though we are all from different countries, we all become the same when we are on the mat training.

Jiu-Jitsu teaches us that regardless of race, religion, or country, we are all the same!
We are all humans with the same love and passion, and Jiu-Jitsu can be used to connect us all.
