Pawel Jaworski is excited to perform on “Martial Arts’ biggest stage” against Tai Rotolo at ONE Fight Night 41

Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion Pawel Jaworski knows exactly what kind of stage he’ll be taking to on March 13, and he can barely hide his excitement.

The Polish ground game fighter faces welterweight world champion Tai Rotolo at ONE Fight Night 41: Rodrigues vs. Phetjeeja on Prime Video. The confrontation between them will take place inside the legendary Lumpini Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand, live on prime time in America, on Friday, March 13.

He’s challenging for gold against one of the sport’s most dangerous submission hunters on a card broadcast to millions, and before he steps onto the biggest stage in the sport next month, Pawel Jaworski reflected on what it’s like to compete inside the ONE Circle.

“It will be a very proud moment for me to be able to compete in that arena, on the biggest stage of jiu-jitsu and, in general, the biggest stage in martial arts. So, I’m very happy to be part of this event,” said the 21-year-old.

While his motivation to perform is at an all-time high, the Warsaw warrior will undoubtedly face a tough test against the defending kingpin.

Ruotolo is undefeated in the field throughout his ONE Championship tenure. Along the way, the American martial artist has produced world-class wrestlers such as Izak Michel, Dagi Arslanaliyev, Marat Gafurov, and Gary Tonon.
