Ed Ruth is ready for higher-level opposition: ‘I don’t really care how many times I will fail’

Ed Ruth wants the very best Bellator has to offer, even if it jeopardizes his pretty win-loss record.

Ruth (7-1) has exclusively competed for Bellator since turning pro. His sole loss comes at the hands of Neiman Gracie in the opening round of the Bellator Welterweight Grand Prix. His big step-up in competition did not go his way, but Ruth is not deterred.

“Even after this fight with Jackson I feel ready to step back into the ring. I don’t really care how many times I will fail at the higher levels, as long as you put me up there and give me the opportunity I’m still going to go for it.
