"It's all shared" - Kade Ruotolo says he and twin Tye split the spoils of victory equally

Kade Ruotolo and his twin brother Tye have always been side by side with one another during their lives and careers.

The two submission grappling world champions in ONE have gone through every highs and lows with one another which only makes them stronger as brothers.

This doesn't mean that they're against the idea of competing against one another should they meet in a tournament which has happened in the past. In a recent interview on The MMA Hour, Kade shared that their approach has always been that as long as one of them wins, they're both happy.

They take the same approach to winning tournaments and titles as they do with financial rewards.

As long as the winnings and accolades are coming back to the Ruotolo household, that's what matters most to them:

"The way we always think of our competition, is as long as one of us gets the gold, we both win. Even when we fight, it's not like our money is my money, and when he makes money it's his money."

"It's all of our money comes together for the same reasons, why we're at now here in Costa Rica to build the gym, you know the pool, the lifestyle for the family. It's really not like too much, like whatever you could say like greed or whatever, it's all shared."
