BJJ Specialist Mikey Musumeci Announces Transition to MMA

Mikey Musumeci, the reigning UFC BJJ bantamweight champion, has confirmed his intention to transition into professional MMA competition before the end of the year. Following his recent unanimous decision victory over Bryce Mitchell at UFC BJJ 11, the 30-year-old indicated he has largely concluded his current grappling tenure.

Musumeci stated he is currently evaluating offers from various MMA promotions through his management. He plans to gain initial experience on the regional circuit before targeting a move to the UFC. Under the guidance of coach John Wood at Syndicate MMA, Musumeci intends to refine his stand-up skills while aiming for the 125-pound flyweight title in the future.
