Kade Ruotolo, the 23-year-old ONE lightweight submission grappling world champion from the United States, has mastered the art of grappling under intense pressure. However, he finds a contrasting sense of peace in the ocean, where he often escapes the noise of his competitive life. Along with his twin brother, Tye Ruotolo, Kade enjoys various water activities, including surfing and fishing, which he describes as healing experiences. He fondly recalls fishing trips from his childhood, where he and his brother would bond away from their parents. Ruotolo stated, "Being in the water feels very healing. The ocean is healing, and it's a completely different world out there." As he prepares for his return to the ring against Japanese veteran Hiroyuki 'Japanese Beast' Tetsuka on May 15, Ruotolo looks forward to balancing his competitive spirit with his love for the ocean.
