Ed Ruth: Bellator’s Next Welterweight King?

Ed Ruth, multi-time collegiate wrestling national champion, has remained on his meteoric rise since his major professional debut on November 4, 2016 at Bellator 163. The wrestling phenom is 5-0, with only one of those going the distance. Few have come into the world of MMA with as much hype as Ruth. Even fewer have lived up to it like Ruth has so far.

The Early Wrestling Days

Ruth graduated from New Jersey’s powerhouse Blair Academy in 2009. He had previously attended Susquehanna Township High School in Harrisburg, PA for his first three years of high school before transferring to the prestigious private school.
