Both Tye Ruotolo and Kade Ruotolo won their ONE championship matches with the 'Ruotolo-tine' submission, an arm triangle variation from the back that combines elements of the rear naked, ezekiel, and darce for the strangle. It's the same finish that Tye used at 2022 ADCC against Pedro Marinho. Kade and Tye are undefeated in ONE championship action, and both brothers are invited to the ADCC World Championships in August.

Tye Ruotolo took on Izaak Michell in a battle of the top-two ranked middleweights in the world. Tye struck first, countering a deep takedown attempt with a stunning flower sweep to mount. From there, he took the back and locked in the 'Ruotolo-tine'. For his efforts, he won a $50k bonus.

Kade Ruotolo took on Francisco Lo in a 180lbs catchweight match, surviving some early intense exchanges before taking Lo's back and submitting him with the arm triangle choke variation. The match earned him another $50,000 performance bonus from ONE Championship. The next action Kade will see is expected to be his MMA debut in June.
