Since the time of signing a contract with One Championship, Mikey Musumeci has promoted the martial arts format thanks to his name. However, the Jujitsu champion of the world recently was brought into difficult situation by One Championship, when he could not play due to the organizers suddenly adjusted the match.
At the One 168 event in Denver, USA last weekend, Mikey Musumeci was originally planned to play with Kade Ruotolo. This match takes place in a weight of 77kg. However, Kade Ruotolo suddenly announced the withdrawal because the injury was less than a week before the event began.
To “fire” for One 168, as well as no compensation for Mikey Musumeci, One Championship has found him another opponent. It was Bebeto Oliveira. However, this match took place in the weight of 61kg (Flyweight), and Musumeci was suddenly asked to protect this championship.
The decision of One Championship also means that Musumeci has to press down 16kg in less than a week. He of course could not be successfully pressed. Musumeci was concluded to be overweight, not passing the weight test and water content before the event. According to the tournament regulations, Musumeci was stripped of the Flyweight weight -class championship.
The need to squeeze deep in a short time also seriously affects the condition of Musumeci. Sharing on his personal page, this boxer said he had to be hospitalized urgently because of severe pneumonia during weight pressing. He could completely lose his life without being hospitalized early.
“The doctor told me that I was still very fortunate.
