An attendee of the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, السلطة الفلسطينية, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class, Ruth elected to stay local and attend wrestling powerhouse Penn State University where he went on to add three National Championships and four All-American accolades to his trophy room while wrestling with the Nittany Lions. الآن, Ruth’s chase for mixed martial arts gold begins –

Since graduating college, Fortune represented Team USA in Olympic style wrestling, where he also experienced success.

Miskell has competed in both heavyweight and super heavyweight contests during his seven-fight amateur stint, المتحققة بسجل 5-2. الآن, the Kentucky native – who’s finished each of victories – looks to parlay his success into a run under the bright lights of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division.
