In a recent interview, rising MMA star Kade Ruotolo revealed the impressive financial details of his grappling matches in the ONE Championship promotion. Ruotolo, who is also a decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu champion, shared that he and his brother are making upwards of $100,000 per match in ONE FC.
Ruotolo explained that the decision to sign with ONE Championship was a no-brainer, as the promotion offered them the opportunity to earn significantly more money than other platforms. “Financially, you know, we’re making upwards of $100,000 every fight, you know,” Ruotolo said. “So why go fight for less money on a different promotion when you could come to ONE Championship and make hundreds of thousands of dollars?”
The Ruotolo brothers’ success in ONE FC has been impressive, with Kade putting together an undefeated record in the promotion’s grappling events. He has proven to be a dominant force, showcasing his world-class BJJ skills and athleticism.
Ruotolo also addressed the ongoing rivalry with fellow grappling standout Mica Galvao, who has recently called him out. However, Ruotolo remains unfazed, stating that he has never declined a match-up in his career and is more than ready to face Galvao whenever the opportunity arises.
“Regardless of the results, we’re I’m down for it, you know,” Ruotolo said. “I’ve never declined a match-up in my life, that’s one thing that we’ve never, you know, we’ve always accepted everything that’s come our way.”
