Mikey Musumeci, the UFC’s first ever exclusively signed grappler, has his second bout with the promotion set.
As announced during the UFC 314 broadcast, Musumeci will be facing longtime 10th Planet Jiu-jitsu star Geo Martinez. The bout will serve as the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 11’s (UFC FPI 11) co-main event.
Musumeci, 28, made his UFC debut last December, where he dominated a bit of a showcase match with a lesser known grappler in Felipe Machado. The three-time EBI champ in Martinez has a crowd pleasing style that could provide entertainment, but at 38 years old, Musumeci should again be a sizable favorite.
Headlining UFC FPI 11 on May 29, 2025 is an excellent match up between the consensus two top female grapplers today in Adele Fornarino vs. Ffion Davies.
Also recently announced for UFC FPI 11 is a 205 lb. clash between two-time ADCC Trials winner Mason Fowler and Christiano Troisi. The rest of the UFC Fight Pass Invitational 11 card so far is below.

How many times have these two rolled together in the past?
Mikey is annoying and I hope Geo somehow beats him. I’m sorry to my Italian ancestors. But we need someone less lame than this carrying the flag in BJJ.
Let’s go Mikey! Hopefully him and UFC can help grow BJJ and get more eyes on it
