UFC BJJ champion Mikey Musumeci is a free agent, but his future with the UFC is uncertain. After competing three times under the UFC banner, Musumeci's contract has expired, and he's now a free agent. However, he's not entirely parting ways with the UFC, as he plans to renegotiate with Hunter Campbell. When asked about his future with the UFC, Musumeci's response was vague: 'I don't know.'
What Musumeci is certain about is his desire for an exclusive agreement with the UFC. He doesn't envision himself competing in other grappling organizations, which puts to rest any speculation that he might compete in rival promotions like the Craig Jones Invitational. When asked about this possibility, Musumeci stated, 'I think the UFC would back away. It's not worth it for them to invest millions of dollars into something that they're just having over their athletes that they're building to someone else.'
Musumeci is a highly regarded grappler and a rising star in the sport. He's a multiple-time gold medalist at the jiu-jitsu World Championship and a former ONE Championship Submission Grappling champion. He's headlined two of the three events UFC BJJ has hosted since its summer launch, making him a prominent figure in the organization.
Despite his freedom as a free agent, Musumeci's future with the UFC remains uncertain. His statement of 'I don't know' highlights the ongoing negotiations and the potential for a new contract. As a fan of the sport, it's intriguing to see how this situation unfolds and whether Musumeci will continue his successful partnership with the UFC.
