Twin brothers Tye and Kade Ruotolo are the personification of a proper brotherly bond.
They will lay their life for each other, no questions asked, but they'll also hit each other for no apparent reason other than they're brothers.
In an interview on the Jaxxon Podcast, Kade recalled when he and his twin brother decided to drive to the beach just so they could knock each other out without causing a commotion in their neighborhood.
Kade Ruotolo admits he and his brother would always be there for each other, but they never shook off the desire to punch each other in the face if they felt like it.
"There was one time we went to the beach. We were so heated at each other. 'Let's fight!' We were gonna do it in our front yard but all the neighbors are around and they would have called. It would have been hectic," said Kade.
The brothers normally get their tensions released during their sparring sessions while training Brazilian jiu-jitsu, but a bit of fisticuffs is just the perfect avenue to piss off each other.
Nevertheless, the constant roughhousing with one another developed an innate toughness between the two.
Kade is now the reigning ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion and a 2022 ADCC world champion, while Tye is the ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion and a 2022 IBJJF world champion.

Kade Ruotolo hyped up to make MMA debut at ONE 167
Kade Ruotolo has cemented himself as one of the best BJJ artists of his generation, but he's not settling himself to just submission grappling dominance.
The American star will make his highly anticipated mixed martial arts debut when he takes on Blake Cooper at ONE 167 on June 7 at Impact Arena in Bangkok.
After his endless battles with his twin brother, Kade now has a chance to unleash those fists in a proper ONE Championship match.
"I'm definitely not taking anybody lightly. I'm super fired up, it's been a long time coming," said Kade in an interview with FightersOnly.
ONE 167 is available live and free to all Prime Video subscribers in the United States and Canada.
