Submission-grappling standout Tye Ruotolo will make his long-anticipated mixed-martial-arts debut on 5 September at ONE Fight Night 35 in Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium. The bout, confirmed by ONE Championship, pits the 21-year-old American against 19-year-old rising prospect Adrian Lee in a lightweight contest that will stream live on Amazon Prime Video in the United States and Canada. Ruotolo, a multiple-time grappling world champion who has defeated marquee names such as Garry Tonon, Marat Gafurov and former ONE middleweight titleholder Reinier de Ridder, signed with ONE in 2022 alongside his twin brother Kade with plans to compete in both grappling and MMA. Lee arrives with a 3–0 professional record, all victories coming by submission, and continues the family lineage established by his siblings and former ONE titleholders Christian and Angela Lee.
