Former Penn State wrestling great Ed Ruth wasn’t sure what to think when he first heard the rumor that Bellator MMA was coming to Penn State.
“It was crazy,” the Nittany Lion wrestler-turned-MMA fighter recalled Thursday afternoon from the the Central PA MMA gym. “It was like ‘he said, she said.’ I was seeing it on Twitter and I was wondering, ‘OK, is it real?’ Then it was like (Bellator CEO) Scott Coker said it was, so I was like OK!”
Ruth discovered early on what most others would find out in the coming hours and days: Bellator 186 was coming to the Bryce Jordan Center on Nov.
