Kade Ruotolo made a successful venture into the world of mixed martial arts at ONE 167 in June. On Friday, November 8, the BJJ superstar will return to ONE Championship against Ahmed Mujtaba at ONE 169: Malykhin vs. Reug Reug. The lightweight MMA contest will be a stiff test for both men, who are looking at pushing to title contention in the new year.
At ONE 167, Ruotolo was dominant against Blake Cooper. The Atos BJJ star utilized his elite grappling to stifle the Hawaiian and finished via submission in the first round. As he continues developing his all-around skill set, ONE 169 will be a platform to show how far he has come in a short amount of time.
