STATE COLLEGE
Former Penn State wrestler Phil Davis, a four-time All-American, never thought this day would come.
The mixed martial arts fighter — who has a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jiitsu — has competed from Connecticut to Sweden, and from California to Brazil. But, on Friday night, he’ll finally be back home in Happy Valley.
Davis, along with two local fighters and former Nittany Lions wrestler Ed Ruth, will take part in the MMA event Bellator 186 at the Bryce Jordan Center. Davis and Ruth are part of the main card, while Bellefonte native Mike Putnam and Petersburg’s Ethan Goss are on the undercard.
