Reigning and undisputed ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion Tye Ruotolo of the United States says he may not be able to keep from making his mixed martial arts debut for long.
Tye's twin brother Kade, the reigning ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion, already made his MMA debut in ONE Championship, and is currently sitting at a perfect 3-0 with three finishes as an MMA fighter.
Of course, this has a lot to do with Tye wanting to transition to the all-encompassing sport himself.
Speaking to Combat Sports Today in a recent interview, Tye Ruotolo talked about why he is itching to make an MMA debut.

"You know, from an entertainment standpoint, I would have to argue and say, yeah, for sure, MMA is going to be more exciting. You got knockouts, blood and gore, you know."
But before Ruotolo can even think about MMA, he needs to first take care of business against a very dangerous opponent in his next welterweight submission grappling world title defense.
