Just how much does decorated jiu-jitsu ace Kade Ruotolo love mixed martial arts? Well, for starters, he makes more money from competing on the mats than he does in the cage – but that hasn’t stopped him from embracing getting punched in the face. “Technically I still get paid more to do jiu-jitsu than I do to fight MMA, so for me, it’s not even about as much the financials as it is I just love to fight,” Ruotolo told MMA Junkie Radio. “… When I get hit in the face, it wakes me up and makes me want it more.” Ruotolo, 22, is gearing up for his third ONE Championship MMA appearance this Thursday when he meets undefeated Argentinian veteran Nicolas Vigna (7-0) in a lightweight bout at ONE 171 from Lusail Sports Arena in Qatar
