Footage has emerged showing the Ruotolo brothers, Kade and Tye, in a fierce MMA sparring session.
Known for their intense training battles, the brothers have a history of competitive matches against each other.
Their last official bout was over three years ago when Tye defeated Kade in the brown belt final of the IBJJF World Championship.
And, although they haven’t faced off in a competitive setting since, their training sessions have remained just as intense.
But what’s new in their sparring is the addition of MMA, as both brothers embark on their professional MMA careers.
Kade has already made his debut, securing a submission victory while also displaying impressive striking skills.
Tye, while yet to have his debut, has clearly been honing his striking abilities, as shown by the released footage.
