The UFC debut for Max Rohskopf couldn’t have gone much worse. The unbeaten prospect and former standout wrestler stepped in to face Austin Hubbard on short notice at UFC on ESPN: Blaydes vs. Volkov. And while he opened the fight with a decent first round showing, things quickly went downhill from there.
Between rounds two and three, a dejected Rohskopf told his corner clearly that he was done. This fight was over and that he didn’t have anything else to give. Despite coach Robert Drysdale’s repeated attempts to push Rohskopf to fight out the final round, Rohskopf stuck by his decision and the bout was waved off.
