અંતે માત્ર 26 જૂના વર્ષ, 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), ટાયરલ ફોર્ચ્યુન (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) સાથે સાથે આરોન પીકો Name અને રોમેરો કપાસ – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, પીએ, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, કેલિફ., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like જોશ Koscheck અને ક્રિસ Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on નવે. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 પ્રથમ રાઉન્ડમાં પ્રવેશ.
Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.
