"We just finished our massive gym" - Kade Ruotolo and twin brother Tye have built a 'rainforest paradise' in Costa Rica

Reigning and undisputed ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion Kade Ruotolo of the United States says he and twin brother Tye, the ONE welterweight submission grappling king, have finally completed their gym paradise in Costa Rica.

Now based in California, the Ruotolo brothers have been building their personal training facilities deep in Costa Rica, amid the rainforest and crashing waves of the Caribbean.

It's a grappler's haven, and with the money they've been able to make in ONE Championship, the Ruotolos say their gym has finally opened its doors.

Kade Ruotolo told veteran MMA journalist Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour:

"We just finished our massive gym and basically just building a compound. We’re gonna start jiu-jitsu surf camps out here, so whoever comes for the week training jiu-jitsu, surfing, yoga, just enjoying the rainforest, it’s right here next to the beach. It’s paradise out here."

Kade Ruotolo is currently deep in training, working very hard for his next world title defense, which will come against one of his most accomplished opponents to date.

It's a match the entire jiu-jitsu community is looking forward to seeing, especially given the incredible pedigree of both competitors.
