Background

Bill Algeo, a Delaware County native, started his martial arts career at the age of 14 after following his brother's footsteps in wrestling. Going 0-14 to start his wrestling career, four years later he went on to become All-State and captain of the wrestling team.[3]

Starting Brazilian jiu-jitsu at 18, two years later he was running a BJJ program at Penn State University where he was going to school full time for his B.A. in accounting. While at Penn State, he was also a member of the Penn State boxing team, and was partaking in amateur MMA bouts, going undefeated as an amateur, until turning professional in 2011.[3]

Losing to future UFC fighter Shane Burgos in his next bout at CFFC 42 via unanimous decision, he defeated his next two foes via decision in Anthony Terrell and Jeff Lentz at CFFC 49 and CFFC 57, missing weight in his championship bout against Lentz, meaning he was unable to win the title. In his second try for the CFFC Featherweight title, he lost to Jared Gordon via unanimous decision. Debuting with Ring Of Combat at ROC 61, Algeo defeated Tim Dooling via TKO in the second round, winning the ROC Featherweight title.[4] He would defend his title three times, defeating James Gonzalez via unanimous decision at ROC 63, knocking out Scott Heckman in the second round at ROC 65, and tapping out John de Jesus via rear-naked choke in the second round at ROC 67.[5] After this win, he was invited to Dana White's Contender Series 17, where he lost to Brendan Loughnane via unanimous decision.[6] Algeo would return to CFFC for CFFC 83, where rematched against Tim Dooling, once again winning against him, this time via unanimous decision.[7]
