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

 

SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIE (Décembre. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, Et Ruth (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 ce vendredi à "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," sur Décembre. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.

 

A seulement 26 ans, 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) aussi bien que Aaron Pico et Romero Cotton – 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, Pennsylvanie, 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 et Chris Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Novembre. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 dans le premier tour.

 

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 Caroline du Nord), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 Caroline du Nord) in a light heavyweight main event.

An 8-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Yamauchi enters the cage in search of his 21st career win and seventh under the Scott Coker-led promotion. You would be hard-pressed to find a fighter with more promise than the 23-year-old top prospect, who has already taken down proven veterans the likes of Martin Stapleton, Isao Kobayashi, et plus récemment, Ryan Couture. The former featherweight returned to the lightweight division to face the aforementioned Couture earlier in the year at "Bellator 162: Shlemenko vs. Bosquet," a fight in which Yamauchi dominated from the get-go, earning yet another first round submission victory.

Datant de 2011, “Orgulho” has won seven of his last 11 concours, highlighted by his most recent knockout victory over Claudio Rocha, which came just 3:25 dans le premier tour.
