Kade Ruotolo, the 17 year brown belt under Andre Galvao has just announced that he plans to have an MMA debut in 2021. This didn’t come out of nowhere as last month, he made headlines winning the Combat Jiu-Jitsu world championships beating Laird Anderson, Danny Collazo and Jordan Holy at the start of the tournament, and then in the CJJW finals, he faced 10th planet black belt and All-American wrestler PJ Barch and choked him out with a rare ‘Buggy Choke’.
