Blue-chip prospect Ed Ruth will compete for the second time in approximately one month when he takes on Emanuele Palombi at Bellator 168 on Saturday.
Promotion officials announced the new addition to the card on Wednesday. Bellator 168 takes place at Nelson Mandela Forum in Florence, Italy, and is headlined by a light heavyweight tilt between Alessio Sakara and Joey Beltran. The previously scheduled middleweight championship rematch between Rafael Carvalho and Melvin Manhoef was recently scrapped after Carvalho suffered an injury.
Bellator 168 features both MMA and kickboxing bouts.
