MMA veteran Ben Rothwell spent 12 years of his career in the UFC. He entered the organization in 2009, at a time when apparel sponsors were nonexistent and fighters had more freedom in terms of what they wore in the cage.

The 40-year-old Rothwell ended his UFC run in 2021 and in April, signed with BKFC. And as he told MMA Junkie Radio recently, he’s been nothing but satisfied with this recent career decision.

“Yeah, no knock on the UFC. I left on great terms and everything is good, but it did become a little bit of a cookie cutter,” he said.
