Speaking to ONE Championship at the sidelines of their preparations, Kade was quick to praise his brother's electrifying style, saying that his unique approach plays a big role in becoming the ONE welterweight submission grappling king.
He said:
“Tye is like an avalanche, where he starts and just… the avalanche is coming, and coming, and coming. And it just keeps growing and becoming stronger until you just are overwhelmed, and you can’t take it, and you break, and he finishes you – for the most part."
"He just snipes through your game and subs you there.”
WIth both of them returning to their training camp, fans will be able to witness their high-octane performances soon.
Tickets for ONE 168: Denver are available at Ticketmaster.
Kade Ruotolo says his twin brother Tye enjoys more body rehabilitation process
As two of the world's best grapplers at the moment, Kade and Tye Ruotolo are facing a packed training-slash-competitiion schedule ahead, which greatly affects their body.
Nonetheless, each individual is taking a different approach in terms of maintaining their conditions, as Kade shared to ONE Championship.
He said:
"The first [difference] is the awareness of our bodies, and taking care of our bodies, and being aware of rehab and stuff like that. Tye loves it."
Although Kade shared a different outlook towards recovery, it seems that they're keeping in shape despite their hectic schedules, and fans will surely be looking forward to their next scrap.
