SANTA MONICA, קליפורניה (דצמבר. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, ורות (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 ביום שישי הקרוב ב "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," ב דצמבר. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.
רק ב 26 שנים, 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: ג'ואי דייויס (1-0), טיירל Fortune (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) כמו גם אהרון פיק ו רומרו כותנה – 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, הרשות הפלסטינית, 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, קליפורניה., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like ג'וש Koscheck ו כריס Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on נובמבר. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 לסיבוב הראשון.
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.
