Rothwell excited ahead of UFC debut

‘Big’ Ben Rothwell admits he is looking forward to making his UFC debut against Cain Velasquez at UFC 104.

UFC 104 will take place in California on Saturday, October 24th.

Rothwell holds a 14-1 record in his last 15 fights and is a well known heavyweight fighter, but this will be his debut in the UFC.

“I’ve been in this fight game for 10 years and I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally be competing in the UFC,” Rothwell told Fighters Only Magazine.

“It’s the reason I started fighting in the first place. I’m very grateful that they would give me such an established opponent in my first match. Cain’s a tough guy and I’m looking forward to putting on a great show.”
