Can Tye Ruotolo overcome the size disadvantage against Reinier de Ridder?
Since ONE Championship added submission grappling, there have been several examples showing that jiu-jitsu fighters tend to find success against MMA fighters. With that said, Reinier de Ridder has a size advantage over Tye Ruotolo that could cause the latter problems.
Ruotolo holds a promotional record of 2-0, with his two matches being at lightweight and 180 pounds. Meanwhile, De Ridder is the reigning ONE middleweight world champion and previously held the light heavyweight title. ‘The Dutch Knight’ is also six inches taller than the 5-foot-10 Ruotolo.
De Ridder has solidified himself as one of the best grapplers on the planet and it will be intriguing to see how his submission skills match up against a world-class BJJ practitioner like Ruotolo. The submission grappling super-fight goes down on May 5 and can be seen by North American Amazon Prime Video subscribers for free.
