Fil biss 26 snin qodma, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Joey Davis (1-0), Tyrell Fortune (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) kif ukoll Aaron Pico u Romero Cotton – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts.
