Kade Ruotolo is fresh off a fantastic performance at ADCC 2022 where he won the 77kg division and now he’s ready to add another accolade to his collection. The nineteen year-old ATOS star has just been given a huge opportunity at the upcoming ONE on Amazon Video 3 event, as he will challenge Uali Khurzev for the promotion’s inaugural Lightweight submission grappling world championship.
A win there would make him the second person to hold a ONE Championship submission grappling title, after Mikey Musumeci recently won the Flyweight belt. Ruotolo’s victory is not a foregone conclusion at all though, as his opponent is also an incredible grappler in his own right.
