Tye and Kade
Ruotolo have been going to war on the grappling mats ever since
they began training in the sport at age 3.

The twin brothers are currently undefeated under the ONE
Championship banner while wreaking havoc in separate weight
classes. The possibility of the Ruotolos facing each other in a
grappling match in ONE has been a hot topic of conversation among
fans of late.
Furthermore, with Tye recently securing the inaugural welterweight
submission grappling championship against Magomed
Abdulkadirov, the interest in a fantasy matchup between two
champion brothers is bound to increase.
Tye addressed the possibility while speaking to media following ONE
on Prime Video 16.
“My brother and I are always open to fighting each other because we
do it every day,” he said. “It’s nothing out of the ordinary.
Currently, I have three wins over my brother, which is funny
because most of the time he was beating me, but I caught him in the
end every time. In my life, there’s no one that I’d rather not
fight in a competition than my brother. He’s the toughest guy in
the world. You can fight strong guys, big guys, but the scariest
thing is someone technical and my brother knows my game perfectly
so it’s going to be a war every time we fight and I’m open to
fighting for sure. We’re so close, no matter what happens, it’s
just like another day in training.”
