Bellator MMA has added another decorated wrestler to its roster.

The California-based promotion announced Wednesday that it has signed Jordan Oliver, a two-time NCAA national champion at Oklahoma State University, to an exclusive, multi-fight deal. Oliver will compete at featherweight and is expected to make his debut in 2023.

“It’s an honor to sign with Bellator MMA. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent an amazing company, showcase my skills, and make my climb to the top to become a world champion fighter as a dedicated competitor,” Oliver said in a release, “I have always accepted and loved to take on new challenges. The 'tough love' sport of wrestling has molded and prepared me for this opportunity for the past 29 years. The vision remains the same… I'm coming to win, and win with style. Until showtime, to the dark we go to work and sharpen the swords at none other than ‘that gym,’ Kill Cliff FC."

The 32-year-old Oliver was 89-6 over the course of his collegiate career, with the two aforementioned national titles in folkstyle wrestling. He was also a 2019 U.S. national champion in freestyle wrestling.
