ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion Tye Ruotolo only had kind words for his ONE Fight Night 35 opponent, Adrian Lee, following their lightweight MMA duel last Friday, September 5.The 22-year-old got his account in the all-encompassing discipline off to a flyer inside the legendary Lumpinee Stadium, handing the tough-as-nails Lee his first career defeat via a rear-naked choke late in round two.Given their age, star status, and that they're both relatively at the start of their careers, many believe it won't be too long until fight fans get to witness a sequel to their ONE Fight Night 35 classic that saw both men throw everything but the kitchen sink at one another until the match-winning sequence at 4:14 of the frame.During the event's post-fight press conference, Ruotolo was asked about his thoughts on Lee and whether a rematch seems inevitable. The American submission specialist, who earned another US$50,000 performance bonus for his finish, responded:"Who knows? Who knows, you know? I think that Adrian has a bright career ahead of him, and that he’s an excellent MMA fighter for sure. You know he’s part of a sick family of fighters, and I know they’re Samurais, you know? He didn’t want to tap, you know, he got slept, you know? So I know that he’s got a lot of fight in his heart. I know for sure he’ll be back."While Tye Ruotolo got his first victory in MMA under his belt, Lee saw his slate drop to 3-1. All the Prodigy Training Center athletes' victories have come inside the distance.
