Following an explosive start to his professional career, collecting victories in 11 of yakhe yokuqala 12 imikhawulo, including one no-contest, Anderson has continued his success under the direction of Bellator MMA. Since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2013, “The Barbaric” has tallied five impressive wins, highlighted by two knockouts and a pair of victories over Patricky Freire. Hailing from San Diego, Calif., Anderson has finished 11 of yakhe 14 victims, and will not have to travel far as he prepares for number 12. With back-to-back victories over the aforementioned Freire and most recently You Awad at “Bellator 160,” Anderson has quickly entered the mix as one of the division’s top contenders.

The recently signed Schneider will be making her Bellator MMA debut on UJan. 21, as she also enters the contest having won four of her last five bouts. With six of her 10 umsebenzi uwina uyeza ngendlela Knockout noma ukuzithoba, look for Schneider to attack early and often in a flyweight clash that features two of the more dangerous opponents in the division. Standing at 5’9”, the 34-year-old Schneider will hold a significant height advantage over the veteran Ruth, who stands about five inches shy of the former Invicta FC product. Hailing from Los Angeles, Calif., Schneider will also not have to travel far for this incredible event, as the hometown crowd will surely be pulling for “Thoroughbred” at Inglewood’s famous Forum.

 

 

Ruth and Schneider will join a preliminary card that features the promotional debuts of Kevin Casey (9-5-1, 2 NC) futhi Jack May(8-3), as well as the return of Chinzo machida (4-2), Henry Corrales (12-3), Guilherme “Bomba” (8-3), futhi Cody Bollinger (19-6).

I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city. We have put together an amazing team of people out here that have done a great job helping make this possible.
