Bryce Meredith

Bryce Robert Meredith (born April 29, 1995) is an American professional mixed martial artist, former freestyle and graduated folkstyle wrestler who currently competes in the bantamweight division of Bellator MMA.

He opened up with a victory over ninth–ranked Chad Red from Nebraska[8] and then went on to compete at the Cliff Keen Invitational, where he lost to two–time Cadet World Champion and fifth seed Yianni Diakomihalis in the semifinals and placed third.

[9] He then dominated the rest of the regular season, claiming an RTOC title (named Outstanding Wrestler)[10] and posting a 16–0 record at duals, with notable wins over top–ranked Seth Gross, second–ranked Jaydin Eierman and two–time defending NCAA champion Dean Heil.

[2] Meredith made his senior level debut in Russia in December 2018 at the prestigious Alans International, where he lost his only match.

[14] A month later (January 2019), he competed at the Dave Schultz Memorial International and claimed a bronze medal, after losing his semifinal match and defeating two other wrestlers in the consolation bracket.

He was defeated again by Olympian Frank Molinaro in a close 6–7 decision to place sixth, failing to qualify for the 2020 US Olympic Team Trials.

[21] After being unable to compete due to the COVID-19 pandemic until October, Meredith downed recently graduated high schooler Beau Bartlett on October 20 at the NLWC II on points in a high–pace and close match (8–6)[22] and Iowa standout Austin DeSanto on November 1 at the HWC Showdown Open, by points (11–3).

[23] On November 24 at the WRTC Underground I, Meredith was defeated in a frenetic and close match by NCAA champion Seth Gross, seven points to ten.

[26][27] Meredith made his professional debut on May 21, 2021, at LFA 108, in a bantamweight bout against Steven Merrill, where despite facing early adversity by being dropped, he was able to pound his way into a technical knockout victory in the first round.
