Palombi lost to Ed Ruth via TKO (punches) at 1:37 of Round 1 at Bellator 168 on Saturday in Florence, Italy.
ANALYSIS
Palombi had won his last three fights coming into Saturday's bout, but was simply no match for Ruth's dominant wrestling game. Palombi could be exciting to watch going forward, as he has finished four of his five professional wins, but seems to be another fighter who doesn't know what to do when he gets in trouble on the ground. The 30-year-old was finished for the first time in his career in the contest.
