Cody Law is an American professional mixed martial artist and graduated collegiate wrestler currently signed to Bellator MMA.

at that year's NCAA DI championships. After wrestling season, he competed at the 15' Junior Nationals, where he placed third.
After that season, he chose to transfer to the University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown, that had an NCAA Division II wrestling program. He explained:
"It is a combination of things... My goal is to be a national champion. I wasn't getting the job done there... They're going to win (the team title). I really believe they will, but at the end of the day, my goal is to be an individual champ, too.".
However, this led him unable to compete as a sophomore.
As a junior, he became the top-ranked wrestler in the country and posted a record of 17-1 during regular season. During post-season, he won a PSAC conference title and became an All-American with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA DII championships. As a senior, he had his most successful season, compiling a record of 25 wins and 2 losses (both of those losses to Division I athletes), winning the National Championship and becoming a two-time All-American.
Law began his amateur MMA career a couple of months after he graduated from UPJ and amassed a 5-0 record with three stoppage wins (two submissions, one knockout) and two decisions. On September 1, 2020, Law announced that he had signed a contract with Bellator MMA.
