Combat sports has seen a handful of families dominate their sport, albeit in different weight classes, and this certainly applies to submission grappling stars Tye and Kade Ruotolo.

The twins currently hold the ONE welterweight and lightweight submission grappling world championships, respectively, and have both been in a handful of high-profile matches under the world's largest martial arts promotion.

They were immediately thrown into the fire in their long-awaited debut bouts at ONE 157 in May 2022. Kade defeated legendary Japanese grappler and former ONE lightweight MMA world champ Shinya Aoki via unanimous decision.

As for Tye, he made American grappling legend Garry Tonon tap out to a D'Arce Choke in under two minutes, with their performances enthralling the fans throughout the night.

The twins would find their own success with Tye producing submission wins against Marat Gafurov and Dagi Arslanaliev out of his five total victories thus far with his brother posting the same amount of wins against elite-level competition like Uali Kurzhev plus two acclaimed unanimous decision wins over Tommy Langaker.
