At just 19 years old, twin brothers Kade and Tye Ruotolo are quickly becoming some of the most recognizable figures in the sport of submission grappling, which bans strikes and instead focuses on clinch work and ground fighting, with athletes seeking victory by forcing their opponents to tap out.
Kade is currently the reigning ONE Championship submission grappling lightweight titleholder and earlier this year became the youngest-ever winner of the ADCC World Championship, an annual event that is considered one of the most prestigious titles in the sport. Meanwhile, Kade debuted with ONE Championship in May and scored a 97-second submission win over grappling standout Garry Tonon.
