Nothing excites Kade Ruotolo more than another puzzle to solve on the canvas, and he predicts he'll get what he desires when he returns at ONE Fight Night 21 on April 5 in Bangkok, Thailand.
In fact, the ONE welterweight submission grappling world champion, who meets Brazilian grappling standout Francisco Lo in a non-title 180-pound catchweight affair on the stacked bill, is preparing himself for any tricks his opposite number has hidden under his sleeves.
The ONE world champion has done his homework on the Checkmat representative for this thriller. Thus far, he's been impressed by Lo's gallery of submissions and ability to transition his points of attacks.
He said this on The Shintaro Higashi Show recently:
"You don't know if he's going to go for a foot lock or a triangle or, you know, he's got some flying submissions that he knows, which are pretty cool and crafty. He's kind of just a question mark. So that's why I'm excited."
Kade Ruotolo added:
"I know he's going to bring some new things to the table, and he's an exciting competitor for the most part. So I'm excited to have someone who's tough and that kind of excites me."
