Musumeci, considered one of the greatest active jiu-jitsu artists, recently challenged Tsarukyan to a grappling match. Musumeci emphasizes that he has no intention of competing in an mixed martial arts fight against the UFC lightweight contender.While Musumeci really likes Tsarukyan, he didn’t like that “Ahalkalakets” recently called out Hollywood actor Tom Hardy for a grappling match. While Hardy made some waves by competing in jiu-jitsu, Musumeci notes he is still a brown belt. Musumeci challenges the much bigger Tsarukyan to fight him instead.“I really wanna fight Arman,” Musumeci told the UFC. “Not fight, definitely not fight. Let’s change the f-word out of this one. Grapple Arman, he is incredible. He called out my friend Tom Hardy in a grappling match. My friend Tom Hardy is an actor, and he is a brown belt. I just don’t like that he did that, like he could grapple an actual grappler. I’m lighter than him, so I will just go up and face him. Can I face him? He’s much bigger and stronger. Can I beat him? We’ll see.”
