Mikey Musumeci is one of the best-ranking BJJ athletes of all time.
But even so, he still finds inspiration around himself – such as the Ruotolo brothers!
Musumeci revealed, in a recent ONE Championship interview, that he is excited about the impending match between Kade Ruotolo and Tommy Langaker:
I expect this match to be very exciting. I think that [ONE] did a great job making this match.
I don’t see any anti Jiu-Jitsu in this.Tommy only knows one pace, and that’s going forward and attacking. And Ruotolo, I don’t think he knows anything else except attacking.
So [it’s going to be] two guys, both attacking each other every second.
I don’t really know what happens in this match, I just know it’s going to be very exciting.
He emphasized that the Ruotolo brothers are “the best in the world”:
The Ruotolos are probably the best right now in the world in everything.
[Kade Ruotolo is] so good everywhere. His passing, his attacks, his attacks to the back, his Leg Locks.
It’s so crazy.
Musumeci admits that he’ll enjoy watching the bout, no matter the result:
I’m excited to see the exchanges when Tommy plays K-guard on Kade, how Kade handles the K-guard, and how Kade is going to work outside, passing on Tommy’s guard.
Because Tommy’s guard is so good at attacking the legs, he’s so aggressive even with his Armbars.As a Jiu-Jitsu fan, I’m excited to watch it and learn from both of them because they’re both amazing.
