Kade Ruotolo provided a technical breakdown for the 'Ruotolo-tine.' Earlier this year, Ruotolo impressed fans by submitting Francisco Lo with what he labeled the 'Ruotolo-tine.'
On the same night, Kade's twin brother, Tye Ruotolo, pulled off a similar submission in the ONE Fight Night 21 co-main event to retain the welterweight grappling world title against Izaak Michell.
Kade Ruotolo recently appeared on 'The Ariel Helwani Show' to discuss his combat sports career. The reigning ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion explained the 'Ruotolo-tine' during the interview by saying:
"It’s [the] same but different. It’s more like an arm triangle but on the side of the neck. So it’s like the arm is in the same position that a D’Arce would be but the grip would be as if I went arm triangle and then slip to the side of his body. So now instead of attacking the body, the pressure is coming on the side of the neck.”
