The American grappling sensation, Tye Ruotolo, prepares for his shot at a Grappling World Championship Title at ONE Championship. At just 20, Ruotolo’s swift and impactful ascent in the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is nothing short of remarkable. Now, he’s gearing up for what many believe could be the most defining match of his young career at ONE Fight Night 16.
The Journey of Tye Ruotolo
Hailing from the prestigious Atos team, Tye Ruotolo is no stranger to the limelight. He stepped into the world of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu alongside his twin brother, Kade Ruotolo. The duo’s commitment to the art was evident from a young age, with Tye notably setting records at the ADCC World Championship as the youngest athlete to make it to the semifinals.
Tye’s exceptional skill set, combined with his dedication, has seen him remain undefeated in the ONE Championship. His most recent conquest was over Dagi Arslanaliev, whom he expertly submitted him…twice.

The upcoming inaugural ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling title on November 3 promises to be a spectacle. Ruotolo faces the seasoned Russian grappler, Magomed Abdulkadirov. While this will be Abdulkadirov’s debut in ONE, he’s no novice. The 32-year-old Dagestani fighter boasts a rich history of championship battles in the European grappling and wrestling circuits.
The match holds special significance for Tye. A victory here would not only add to his burgeoning list of accolades but also allow him to join ranks with his brother, Kade, the reigning lightweight submission grappling champion in ONE Championship.
