How Cody Law went from college wrestling champion to Jorge Masvidal’s training partner to Bellator prospect

Cody Law didn’t know exactly how he’d end up making his professional fighting debut but he probably couldn’t have scripted a better journey.

The 25-year-old prospect was once a top-ranked high school wrestler, who ended up joining the coveted Penn State wrestling program under Olympic gold medalist Cael Sanderson. While he picked up several big wins as a freshman, Law eventually transferred to the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown, where he kicked off his career as a junior.

After taking All-American honors that year, Law finally achieved his ultimate goal in wrestling, which was becoming a National Champion as he claimed the Division II title at 157 pounds.
