Tye Ruotolo ready to stun Adrian Lee at ONE Fight Night 35

While Adrian Lee is confident of racking up another highlight-reel moment and potentially a fourth US$50,000 performance bonus, overcoming someone of Tye Ruotolo's caliber won't be an easy task.

The submission grappling world champion has decent striking in his arsenal, and should the fight hit the canvas, Lee could be at the mercy of the American ground game wizard's assortment of finishing maneuvers.

For his part, Ruotolo is equally as fired up as Adrian Lee to open his MMA account with a finish.

"My plan is to get him out and finish the fight as soon as possible with what I’m the best at: jiu-jitsu. Slick and quick. That’s the plan," the 22-year-old Atos representative told ONE Championship.

ONE Fight Night 35 takes place inside the Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, on September 5. North American fans with an active Amazon Prime Video subscription can catch the entire card, live in U.S. primetime, for free.
