Ben Rothwell wants to 'lay waste' to the UFC Heavyweight division, 'crush' champion Fabricio Werdum

Ben Rothwell is a man on a mission and he took the next step in completing it by submitting former champion Josh Barnett at UFC on FOX 18 last night (Sat., Jan. 30, 2016) with his patented gogo choke.

A monumental victory like the one "Big Ben" just turned in might be cause for celebration, especially when you consider Barnett had yet to tap to any man in his nearly 20-year career. However, that's not what the No. 7-ranked Heavyweight of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) does when he's looking to wreak havoc on the rest of the 265-pound division.
