A battle of hard-hitting heavyweights was reportedly added to the upcoming March 13 UFC event. Per Combate, seasoned veteran Ben Rothwell will take on the Professional Fighters League 2018’s champion Philippe Lins, though the location for the card is yet to be confirmed.
In his last outing, Ben Rothwell (38-13) dropped a unanimous decision to Marcin Tybura, back in October 2020. The defeat snapped a two-fight winning streak for the 39-year-old, with a TKO win over Stefan Struve and a split decision one against Ovince Saint Preux, respectively in December 2019 and May 2020.
Still in search of his first Octagon win, Philippe Lins (14-5) could be fighting for his job as he tries to snap a two-fight losing skid.
