TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS
SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Dezember. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, Und Ruth (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuel Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place an diesem Freitag bei "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," auf Dezember. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4Uhr ET/PT.
Nur 26 Jahre alt, 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) als auch Aaron Pico und Romero Baumwolle – 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, PA, 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, Calif., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck und Chris Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on November. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 in der ersten Runde.
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.
The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC), who will duke it out with Joey „The Mexicutioner“ Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, einschließlich John Salter (12-3), Yamauchi up (31-9) und Philipe Lins(10-1).
The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Denise Kielholtz (45-3) und Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator Kickbox: Florence“ will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Joe Schilling (19-9) gegen Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Lukas Novello (22-4-2) mit Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), und Kevin Ross(31-9) treffen Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) in einem leichten Kampf.
