Kade Ruotolo reveals twin Tye's likely profession if he wasn't a world-champion grappler
BJJ superstars Kade and Tye Ruotolo have recently thought about who'd they'd be if they weren't world-champion grapplers.
With two big matches ahead of them this year, the 21-year-old brothers had a chance to sit down and talk to ONE Championship about some of the things that separate themselves from each other.
One key difference Kade pointed out about his brother is that, Tye is better at prioritizing his health and allowing his body to recover after training. So, if there's any other profession that he could see Tye doing, it would be a career in the health sciences.
Speaking to ONE, Kade said:
"If Tye didn't do jiu-jitsu, I could see him being a personal trainer or a chiropractor or something. He enjoys understanding the body and fixing himself and unwinding himself."
Current ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion, Tye Ruotolo, is back to business on July 5, after picking up his sixth straight victory against Australia's best, Izaak Michell, this past April at ONE Fight Night 21.
This time, he'll welcome fellow prodigy Jozef Chen to the grappling stage with a thrilling 186-pound catchweight bout at ONE Fight Night 23.
Kade Ruotolo for his part, quickly returns to submssion grappling this September after making his MMA debut last week.
He is slated to put his lightweight belt on the line against one of the best jiu-jitsu competitors on the planet, 'Darth Rigatoni' Mikey Musumeci at ONE 168: Denver.
Submission specialist Jozef Chen makes for an exciting matchup for Tye Ruotolo
19-year-old Jozef Chen will certainly draw in the the crowd when he makes his first ONE appearance with Tye Ruotolo this July.
The Taiwanese-German athlete is a dynamite jiu-jitsu practioner with an unforgiving guard game. He excels in putting opponents on their backs with lightning-fast transitions, like his signature sweeps, in order to get the control that he wants.
How he will deal with Tye Ruotolo's athleticm and aggression, only time will tell but Jozef Chen is no picnic. If given the opportunity, he can do some real damage from the ground.
ONE Fight Night 23 will air live and for free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
