Since their last face-off, Ruotolo has been focusing on building his new gym in Costa Rica and preparing for his mixed martial arts debut.
Langaker, on the other hand, has been on a tear since their last match – amassing a 14-1 record, including a streak of 11 consecutive victories.
These triumphs have earned him the IBJJF No Gi European and World Titles.
Therefore, with a deep understanding of Ruotolo’s style and a wave of momentum behind him, Langaker is poised to challenge for the title yet again.
