Tye and Kade Ruotolo have been going to war on the grappling mats ever since they began training in the sport at age 3.

Furthermore, with Tye recently securing the inaugural welterweight submission grappling championship against Magomed Abdulkadirov, the interest in a fantasy matchup between two champion brothers is bound to increase.
Tye addressed the possibility while speaking to media following ONE on Prime Video 16.
“My brother and I are always open to fighting each other because we do it every day,” he said. “It’s nothing out of the ordinary. Currently, I have three wins over my brother, which is funny because most of the time he was beating me, but I caught him in the end every time. In my life, there’s no one that I’d rather not fight in a competition than my brother. He’s the toughest guy in the world. You can fight strong guys, big guys, but the scariest thing is someone technical and my brother knows my game perfectly so it’s going to be a war every time we fight and I’m open to fighting for sure. We’re so close, no matter what happens, it’s just like another day in training.”
