Kade Ruotolo speaks on importance of picking up jiu-jitsu: “Everyone can benefit from it”

For reigning ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion Kade Ruotolo, picking up jiu-jitsu when he was just a young boy growing up has set his life on a path of greatness. Alongside his twin brother Tye, Ruotolo was destined to be a world champion.

But even if a black belt in the gentle art and multiple accolades aren’t in your future, Ruotolo believes everyone should give jiu-jitsu a try because it can impact your life in more ways than one.

In a recent interview with ONE Championship, Ruotolo raved about jiu-jitsu and its benefits.

The 20-year-old said:

“You know, and so many people and everyone can benefit from it, really, you know.”

Ruotolo is in a unique position to inspire. He is currently one of the most exciting fighters in ONE Championship, who has inspired audiences with his incredible grappling performances in the Circle. He and his brother are bringing Brazilian jiu-jitsu to the mainstream, and transforming it from a sport for purists to one that everyone can enjoy.

He can work even more towards that goal in his next fight.

Kade Ruotolo will put his ONE lightweight submission grappling world title on the line against dangerous Norwegian submission specialist, IBJJF European Open champion Tommy Langaker. The two are set to lock horns in the co-main event of ONE Fight Night 11: Eersel vs. Menshikov on Prime Video.

The event will broadcast live from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on Friday, June 9, and will stream absolutely free to fans in the United States and Canada with an active Amazon Prime subscription.
