With no concrete idea of when Cael Sanderson's squad will suit up and step on the mat again, fans of the Penn State wrestling dynasty won't have to wait long to see some former Nittany Lions compete.
Two former Penn State national champions — Phil Davis and Ed Ruth — are slated to compete at Bellator 245 on Sept. 11 at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Davis, a four-time All-American, compiled 116 career wins in a Penn State singlet, taking home two Big Ten and one NCAA title before graduating in 2008.
A former Bellator light heavyweight champion, Davis made the transition to MMA immediately after graduating from Penn State in 2008 and has compiled a 22-5-1 record between UFC and Bellator heading into this fight.
