Kade Ruotolo became the youngest ADCC World Champion in history at just 19 years old, submitting every single opponent on his way to the title, and he did it all without ever touching steroids in a sport where he says their use is the norm at almost every gym he's walked into.
In Chapter 426 of Gypsy Tales, Kade joins Jase Macalpine to talk about growing up alongside his twin brother Tye, training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu since they were just three and a half years old, and getting paid to compete by the age of 11, something almost unheard of in jiu-jitsu at the time. The two have been pushing each other to their absolute limits in the training room ever since.
We get into the steroid problem nobody wants to talk about, the money in professional grappling and why it drops off so dramatically outside the top few athletes, and what it's actually like growing up with a carbon copy of yourself.
With both brothers now making their mark in MMA, Kade believes the Ruotolo brothers have what it takes to become two of the most dangerous fighters in the sport. After conquering the world of grappling, could MMA be the next sport they take over?
Kade also talks about the Costa Rica compound his dad started building over 15 years ago and left sitting in the jungle, and what the future holds for him and Tye as they continue their careers in ONE Championship.
If you've ever stepped on a mat, you'll get a lot out of this one.
