Kade or Mica Galvao Next For Tye Ruotolo?

Backstage after the match, Ruotolo also discussed a possible match against rival Mica Galvao, who he defeated in the final of the WNO Championship in September of 2022 to win the 185lb title. He even suggested that Mica face his brother Kade first to determine the number one challenger for the title.

“What would be cool, if my brother and Mica had a match and I fight the winner for the 170lb belt. That would be a sick one.”

Should Kade beat Mica and go on to face Tye, it wouldn’t be the first time they have faced off. Most recently, the met in the final of the brown belt lightweight division at the 2021 IBJJF World Championship, with Tye winning via armbar submission.
