ONE Championship welterweight submission grappling champion Tye Ruotolo is one of the most dangerous grapplers on the planet. At 19, Ruotolo cemented his legacy in the sport by becoming the youngest grappler to win a world title in the black belt division in the International Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu Federation. Two years later, Ruotolo still finds ways to raise the bar and take BJJ to new heights.
