TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

 

Santa Monica, CALIF (Oṣu kejila. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, Ati Rutu (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place yi Friday ni "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," lori Oṣu kejila. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm et/PT.

 

Ni nikan 26 ọdun atijọ, 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) si be e si Aaron Pico ati Romero Cotton – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts.
