Mikey Musumeci and Bryce Mitchell agree to specific rules for UFC BJJ 11

UFC BJJ Bantamweight champion Mikey Musumeci is moving up to the Featherweight division to face UFC contender Bryce Mitchell tonight at UFC BJJ 11 in Las Vegas. The bout features a gentlemen's agreement between the two athletes to avoid leg locks and intentional guard pulls, tactics that Mitchell has previously criticized.

Musumeci stated he utilized unconventional training methods to prepare for the restrictions, including wearing a dog shock collar that would be triggered if he ended up in a bottom position. He also noted he incorporated spiritual techniques during his camp to ensure he stays off the mat. Musumeci enters the contest undefeated in the promotion with four submission victories, while Mitchell brings his experience as a UFC veteran into the grappling match.
