Bellator continues to add to their impressive roster of former collegiate wrestlers with the addition of Joey Davis, a four-time Division II NCAA champion at 184 pounds.

Bellator officials confirmed the news to FloCombat on Friday.

Davis, from Compton, California, was not just a four-time champion: he went through his entire collegiate career at Notre Dame College undefeated. Only two other collegiate wrestlers have accomplished the feat: Cael Sanderson went 159-0 during his Division I run, and Marcus LeVesseur went 155-0 in Division III.



Now, Davis joins other Bellator wrestling standouts including Aaron Pico, Ed Ruth and Tyrell Fortune.

Davis plans on fighting in Bellator's 170-pound division. He will train at Antonio McKee's Body Shop gym.
