Cleber Sousa’s single-minded approach to training has made him one of the most feared martial artists on the planet, and ONE Championship stands to benefit from his discipline.
The 27-year-old Brazilian will meet former teammate Osamah Almarwai in a 12-minute submission grappling match at ONE 166 this Friday at Lusail Sports Arena in Lusail, Qatar. Sousa’s lone appearance under the ONE banner resulted in a unanimous decision defeat to Mikey Musumeci in October 2022. Now, he seeks redemption, with a wealth of experience upon which to draw.
“I’ve been training jiu-jitsu nonstop for about 13 years,” Sousa told Sherdog.
