Three-time national wrestling champ signs with Bellator
Ed Ruth: “It will be a little while until I step into the cage for the first time, but when I do, everyone they put in front of me is in for a world of hurt.”
The 2016 Olympic hopeful is no stranger to MMA as he was called in to help Jon Jones prepare for his title defense against Daniel Cormier.
Three-time national wrestling champion and four-time All-American Ed Ruth has signed a contract to compete in the Bellator promotion.
“I’ve been talking with all the major organizations, and at the end of the day, I really believe in what Scott Coker is doing with Bellator. They’re signing the top talent, they’re putting on exciting fights, and they’re letting me secure my own sponsors.
Heading into the 2016 Olympic wrestling season, Ruth is currently ranked No. 1 at 86kg. (189.5lbs)
