Submission savant Tye Ruotolo steps into MMA against prodigy Adrian Lee in a bout dripping with storyline intrigue.

Women’s Atomweight: Macarena Aragon vs. Natalie Salcedo
High-tempo technicians Macarena Aragon and Natalie Salcedo bring volume striking, footwork, and smart takedown timing to a razor-close atomweight showdown. Both have the cardio to weaponize pace, so octagon control and cage wrestling may be the swing factors. Bout details: Fight: Salcedo vs. Aragon.
What to watch for
• Transition games: Scrambles and fence work will decide Abdullaev–Dauev and Ruotolo–Lee. One clean back take or mat return could flip the script.
• Debut layers: Ruotolo’s MMA reads—setups behind jabs, level changes under counters—are the X-factors against a confident striker-grappler in Lee.
• Atomweight urgency: Aragon vs. Salcedo could produce the next name to watch in a division where consistency and activity get rewarded fast.
