Tye Ruotolo was grateful for the opportunity to once again represent the jiu-jitsu community and deliver another impressive submission victory at ONE Fight Night 13.
Making his debut inside the legendary Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, Tye Ruotolo scored his fourth-straight win under the ONE banner, securing a submission victory over Turkish knockout artist Dagi Arslanaliev just past the two-and-a-half minute mark.
Speaking with the promotion after his spectacular win, the 20-year-old submission standout showed his appreciation for the support of the BJJ community, saying:
“It means the most to me. To have a good performance and represent the jiu-jitsu community the best way possible is all I really wanna do so I’m stoked to make that happen tonight and I’m grateful for all the support and I’m ready to keep pushing.”
