ONE flyweight world champion Adriano Moraes appears to be having good fun in LA with the Ruotolo Brothers. After posting about training with the two grappling prodigies, Moraes teased a clip of himself doing some sick tricks at the skatepark with the two BJJ stars. 'Mikinho' and the prodigious grappling twins seem to be having a blast.
ONE Championship posted a video of the same with the caption:

Skateboarding is no joke. There's a reason why it's an Olympic sport. It requires tremendous skill and athleticism, not to mention fearlessness, to pull off even the simplest of tricks.
Adriano Moraes and the Ruotolo Brothers are showing off that their insane athletic ability and skill on the mats and in the circle can be translated to other sports as well.
