The challenger believes he will exit The Inner Circle 37 as a two-sport World Champion this Friday.

‘It’s Going To End Quick’ – Tye Ruotolo Wants To Make Christian Lee’s Revenge Mission A Short One

Tye Ruotolo, a one-division Welterweight Submission Grappling World Champion, is set to face two-time champion Christian "The Warrior" Lee for the ONE Lightweight MMA World Title on November 6th. The bout will take place at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok and will be streamed live on live.onefc.com. Ruotolo, who has won both of his MMA fights by submission, is confident that the bout will be a quick one, perhaps even ending in the first or second round with a submission.

He acknowledges Lee's pressure to avenge his younger brother, Adrian "The Phenom" Lee, but does not expect it to distract the veteran fighter. Ruotolo, who has not lost a submission fight in his professional career, is eager to prove himself as the first ONE World Champion in both submission grappling and MMA.
