In their first meeting at the 2017 Pan Jiu-Jitsu IBJJF Championship, Sousa won by a referee\u2019s decision. Next, Musumeci won on points at the 2017 Abu Dhabi World Professional Jiu-Jitsu Championship.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_18815\"  width=\"696\" height=\"391\"  data-origwidth=\"696\" data-origheight=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wwQ9QexiOps?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;modestbranding=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Musumeci\u2019s focus on always improving has allowed him to learn from his losses. Following his 2017 loss to Sousa, Musumeci reeled off 25 consecutive wins before dropping a match in an absolute division contest. But at his own weight, Musumeci has been peerless as of late.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cHe\u2019s a tough guy, just a really tough solid guy. Like, he\u2019s one of those guys who\u2019s really hard to do things to, you know. Like, it doesn\u2019t matter what you\u2019re doing to him. He\u2019s just solid and tough. And he doesn\u2019t give up. He pushes forward, he pushes the pace, he tries to break you mentally, right?

He expects a fast-paced battle on the canvas, forcing Sousa to react continuously to his moves.
