ONE Championship: Mikey Musumeci posts drug test results, says ‘you don’t need to inject a needle’ to be champ
- ONE flyweight submission grappling champion says that jiu jitsu is ‘ridiculous with the amount of steroids involved’
- Musumeci praises ONE for ‘changing the landscape’ with drug testing, as he posts the results of his latest clean sample
ONE Championship flyweight submission grappling king Mikey Musumeci has taken aim at jiu jitsu’s steroid abusers, as he praised his promotion for helping to clean up the sport.
The 26-year-old American recently defended his title with a submission win via rear-naked choke against Osamah Almarwai at ONE Fight Night 10 in Denver, Colorado – the Singapore-based martial arts organisation’s debut on US soil.
In an Instagram post on Monday, Musumeci shared a notification from ONE that his latest post-fight sample had come back clean.
“I want to thank ONE Championship and Chatri [Sityodtong, CEO] for testing athletes for steroids and PEDS [performance-enhancing drugs],” he wrote in the post.
“Unfortunately the past and the current generation of jiu jitsu is ridiculous with the amount of steroids involved, but luckily One is capable of changing the landscape of jiu jitsu with this testing.
“Every match I am a part of I have requested myself and my opponent to have PED testing to help this cause.
