TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS
SANTA MONICA, CALIF (十二月. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, 和露絲 (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 這個星期五 在 “Bellator 168: Sakara vs. 貝爾特蘭,” 上 十二月. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4下午ET/PT.
僅在 26 歲, 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), 泰瑞爾財富 (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) 以及 亞倫微微 和 羅梅羅棉 – 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, 加利福尼亞州。, where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like 喬希Koscheck 和 克里斯·哈尼科特, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on 十一月. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 進入第一輪.
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 阿萊西奧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, 含 約翰·索爾特 (12-3), 山內達 (31-9) 和 菲利普林斯(10-1).
The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between 丹妮絲·基爾霍爾茨(Denise Kielholtz) (45-3) 和 Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. “Bellator跆拳道: 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 喬·希林 (19-9) 針對 Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) 同 Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), 和 凱文·羅斯(31-9) 見面會 Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) 在一個輕量級的戰鬥. “Bellator跆拳道: Florence” airs 星期五, 十二月. 16 在 11:15 下午ET, immediately following “Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”
