This is like when your uncle you haven’t seen in a while tries to relate to you as a teenager
And it's wholesome af
@@Ybby999 ariel wholesome? When? Where?
@@growshreebag1581 no, your uncle, Ariel is cringe af
You watched, commented hate - your life importance confirmed 🤡 tier
thats ariel with every fighter
Social Media is toxic. Good for this kid. Stay in the moment! Live life! Love the NOW.
Man - I loved watching Kade and Ty compete, but came away from this interview with a ton of respect for Kade's maturity and perspective. Very refreshing, hope these two continue to have a ton of success.
What a beast just saw his MMA debut, guy is really talented.
Agreed he seemed so comfortable fighting in the cage
That was his brother I think
@@theguy7878naw, it was him
On ya Craig, knew he had some aces up his sleeve and what a dominating hand he just played. Wish CJI and the athletes all the best for the future.
8:45 ADCC v CJI.
Thank you, saved 7 minutes of Ariel waffling on
THANK YOU
@@grr82 🤣
Thank you! Can't stand Ariel's interview style, but wanted to hear Kade talk about ADCC and CJI.
YES KADE LETS GOOOO
The maturity these guys have is a much needed breath of fresh air. Maybe we will finally get over the Gordon phase of BJJ.
This is huge for Craig! Still have 2 months lol.
Rumor is Zuckerberg is funding CJI, that's why Craig is telling all athletes to pm him for proof of legitimacy, and once they find out Zuckerberg is behind it, they know it will last and not just a one off thing, that's why they are all switching.
Yea it’s over for ADCC this year. I had said their only chance was to come out with a bigger cash prize
Huge pull for CJI. Excited for the show
Let’s go!!
Those two are some of the best people Bjj has to offer. No one who has met them has a bad thing to say.
Only knew of them until Kade’s podcast with Mighty Mouse, young well spoken positive dude, instantly a fan
The twins in the CJI finals would be legendary. The two most exciting grapplers.
These brothers give off such a good vibe. His MMA debut was as impressive as his grappling matches ive seen
Ruotolo's pass the IQ test
bro this is such an underrated comment
only the stupid ones stay at adcc this year ur right.
Kade is such a dude. Big fan. Lovely kid and so glad to see him getting in on the CJI
Much respect to the Ruotolos. They definitely could win ADDC but want to support fellow grapplers. Kade says it would be so cool to go against Tye in the CJI. They'd put on a show for sure.
How can you not like this kid. Bright future ahead for him
Today on the ruotolo CJI instagram post, Mica comments "disappointed", because they arent doing ADCC, but 20 year old Mica has been tested positive for secret juice... kinda ironic.
Facts
😂😂 exactly. So ridiculous and immature.
i love this kid ✨ energy is contagious
Kade has already won ADCC and beaten and submitted the best in the world, he has nothing to prove. Go for the money.
Exactly. People forgot these guys are prize fighters.
I belive CJI will bring more prestige than ADCC tbh...
@@MakalisMO2 this year for sure
"The Ruotolo Brothers are out" ADCC
"Which one?" Mo
"Both. Plural bro" ADCC
😂😂😂
Kade, Tye and Mikey were all good kids on the BJJ circuit.
I really hope the madness of this spotlight don't change their incredible vibe.
Dude seems like he’s naturally got his mind in the right place, so glad I’ve learned about them. Chama
I am a big fan of this two brothers. Very mature guys and great for the sport. Thank you guys
what an inspiration this guy is. kids pay attention.
The Ruotolo brothers are great. Been watching ONE FC a lot more since its on Prime and I wish the UFC would add Muay Thai. Been training Muay Thai a year now thanks to ONE FC and its such a great sport.
Kade is a G. So glad he's going to CJI. It's amazing that anyone can say, with a straight face, that Craig Jones is the poster boy for steroids in a sport where Gordon Ryan exists. But, if I had to guess whether Ariel was more likely to get some money pushed his way from Gordon/Mo or Craig/his financier.. yeah. Not a hard one to guess
These dudes are awesome! Stay humble young men, keep doing great things. 🙏
Excited too see this young man compete in the UFC
Kade and Tye in the UFC someday
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They get paid 10x more in ONE
ONE is waaay better
As long as they get the bag
I like this guy, chill and humble
These guys are so young, the Ruotolos could spend a couple years just working on Muay Thai and Wrestling to round out their game, and they might be unstoppable.
They’ve actually been training Muay Thai I believe as just hobbyists and they’re striking is decent
They can both wrestle
Bro they're grapplers they wrestle every day since they were like 3, wrestling is part of grappling.
@@dubstepXpowerthey need to work on takedowns. That’s something ju jitsu people struggle with in mma. That’s the part of wrestling they will have to work on.
@@RiloXRiYes he needs to perfect his shots when striking is involved but these guys are not guard pullers. they can take down some of the best grapplers in the game already
Kade seems like a really nice guy. Well spoken and I enjoyed listening to him. Good luck sir.
ahead of his time! even with his views on social media and phone addiction
Great interview
Great interview. Kade is the man.
These brothers are the future face of BJJ! They have a great outlook and I wish them both the best in their careers! Great interview Ariel !!
He's going to change the game. Respect to the twins of Wakanda
LET’S GO KADE
He’s already a ADCC champ. Can’t wait for this.
The ruotolos seem like such great guys. So pleasant and respectful. Almost makes Marcelo Garcia seem negative in comparison.
I honestly think that craigs contribution to the jj world is huge for evry competitor, it seems like jiu jitsu is about to get bigger and everyone who loves the sport should agree that there needs to be more platforms and better pay for our athletes
So well spoken
this kid is the real deal.
"do you think ADCC is in trouble?" man that's some hot question and Kade kept it real, love that. And btw Ruotolos going to CJI just really puts Musumeci in a weird spot, hope he shut up on taking shots toward other 66ers
This guy looked solid in his mma debut!
Yeah guys cji is the most prestigious tournament in 2024 at least for the -80kg
Seems like a cool dude,wish him the best in his mma career
Stars in the making.
Love the ruotolos, super stoked to see Kades mma career. Gonna be real tho I DONT see him beating EITHER of the Lee brothers for the belt tho. Their stroking and wrestling are SO GOOD and so much more developed into their overall mma abilities than he will likely EVER be able to achieve 🤷🏻♂️
These kids were raised right.
Game changer!
So glad they are doing cji
darces for everyone
Darces for days
Darces for steroid users too
@@DreX-8810 darce+
STOKED
Even the kids in jj are juicing. The Ruotolos are great men, truly.
After seeing Tye’s absolute run at ADCC I’m surprised he didn’t go to +80kg. I think he’ll bring home the mil at -80kg
People don’t realize if Kade can transition strongly, with lots of time and training, his style could literally be as dominant as Khabib. Would be a whole new level of BJJ in MMA.
Yes! Can’t wait for this!!!
This guy is awesome
These kids are awesome
The most impressive thing is not going to CGI but not using socail media 🔥🙏
probably the biggest switch we've seen yet
Kade seems cool af
Wisdom re phone. Well done.
Okay now this is a name that will bring eyes and more gra0plers over... thus stuff if heating up
Love this guy
Respect to Kade on his stance on steroids
He seems like the dude you want to be friend with.
This is awesome
crazy vibes on this guy
Why wouldn’t he go to CJI? He’s established himself as one of the goats already. Plus he’s got a chance to be one of the first champions. Money’s on Ruotolo.
Such a great kid
The UFC should go after the Ruotolos and Gary tonon once their contract ends. All of them will be stars in the UFC.
Just the Ruotolo brothers.
@@wrldw4r Gary has lost one fight, and submitted and finished i think everyone he has faced.
Interesting.
While I like the competition to UFC, it would be nice to see them tested in UFC.
Awsome!
CRAIG A GOAT FOR CJI
CJI! Let’s go
I hope one of the Ruotolos will win.
How would you expect a 21yr old who is the best Bjj guy in his division not go for the $1million prize tournament!???
He’d be crazy not to do this. He doesn’t need to have loyalty to any of these tournaments. It’s not like they would have loyalty to him.
Love it
Such a kool young man
CJI going to be awesome!
Once these twins get better and better at striking…. They will conquer division
This is awesome Kade!
Damn i really wanna see he fight Mica at ADCC!😞
🐐🐐🐐
1,000,000 reasons why.
Would love to see them get the older generation, like Ryan Hall Jeff Glover, Rafa Mendes, Damian Mai and others to be in the tournament.
Yes let’s go
You can wear the SBs bro!
Get the cheese 🧀 💰
Holy crap I thought this was an Acolyte interview for a split second.
wawaweeewa till i dont forget...
CJI Talk 8:45
God bless u
GOAT
I like this dude. And he does have a Payton vibe too.
YOU GET A DARCE! YOU GET A DARCE! YOU GET A DARCE! EVERYONE GETS A DARCE!!!
Very mature. I also don't have socials. Changed my life for the better, no regrets :)
haven't seen this guy since he was on american idol and then did that movie with kelly clarkson.
I feel old for understanding this joke
@@youngornitier bro we aren't that old... please take that back 😭
Seems like a very cool dude wow.
Oooooooooooohhhhhhh yessssss!!!!!
