Kade Ruotolo vs. Francisco Lo official for ONE Fight Night 21
As the anticipation for ONE Fight Night 21 on Prime Video this April 5 continues to build, Kade Ruotolo joins the fanfare.
The reigning ONE Lightweight Submission Grappling World Champion competes in a 180-pound catchweight contest against Francisco Lo. This bout takes place live in U.S. primetime from the iconic Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.
Ruotolo’s stint in the world’s largest martial arts organization has been nothing short of stellar. With five appearances under his belt, he has consistently asserted his dominance.
His most recent victory over Tommy Langaker this past January underscored his status as the unrivaled lightweight grappler on the global stage.
However, the upcoming clash against Lo presents a distinct challenge for the California native.
Lo, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt since May 2022, is renowned for his dynamic and lethal submission prowess.
As an IBJJF American National Champion and No-Gi Pan-American Champion, Lo’s accolades speak volumes. His victories over esteemed opponents such as Manuel Ribamar, Sebastian Rodriguez, and Mauricio Oliveira highlight his capability to seize victory from any position.
The collision of Ruotolo’s all-action demeanor and Lo’s innovative approach promises a gripping stylistic encounter.
