"The sky is the limit for those two" - Andre Galvao stacks praise on ONE world champions Tye and Kade Ruotolo

Multi-time Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Andre Galvao believes his star students, Tye and Kade Ruotolo, can go on to achieve anything they have their hearts and minds set on.

The twin grappling wizards, who have both attained world title success on the global stage of ONE Championship, have been in phenomenal form, after all.

Speaking on their success in a recent video documenting their rise to the pinnacle of the discipline, the Atos co-founder and head coach had this to say:

"They always have fun. They have a great great mind, whether they're winning or losing. But most of the time, they win. And, to be honest, the sky is the limit for those two."

The pair have never looked back since they embarked on this journey of martial arts greatness.

Despite only being 21, they've already defied all odds, taken out some of the biggest names in the sport and are looking better than ever with more game time in the world's largest martial arts organization.

Combined, Kade Ruotolo and Tye have racked up a pristine 14-0 resume in the promotion. The former is the organization's lightweight submission grappling division, while Tye holds the throne in the welterweight category.
