"Love this brotherhood" - Fans expect big things from BJJ phenoms Kade and Tye Ruotolo in the MMA realms

Reigning undisputed ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion Kade Ruotolo has successfully dipped his feet into mixed martial arts after beating Blake Cooper during their MMA match at the ONE 167 card last weekend.

Ruotolo thrilled the fans inside the jam-packed crowd inside the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand, by showcasing his BJJ pedigree and eventually submitting Cooper in the opening round via a rear-naked choke finish.

In a video published by ONE Championship recently, Kade's twin brother, Tye, was equally ecstatic about the victory, as the promotion captioned the video with:

"Brotherly pride! 👊❤️ Who wants to see Tye Ruotolo in MMA action next? @ruotolobrothersjiujitsu"

In the video, Tye, who currently reigns as the ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion, was shouting additional instructions to his twin ringside until he forced a tap out of Cooper.

Once the win was secured, Tye and the whole corner of Kade were super happy for the BJJ savant's successful MMA debut. It was his seventh victory under the ONE Championship banner since arriving in May 2022.

Fans were thrilled to see the famous Ruotolo twins thrive under the world's largest martial arts organization

Aside from his twin brother and team, Kade's fans were also happy about his victory, and they are expecting him to be a household name in MMA for years to come. Additionally, they are also looking forward to Tye's possible transition to mixed martial arts as well.
