MMA Veteran Ben Rothwell Expects to Make Big Impact in BKFC Debut

Anxious to step into the ring at Saturday's BKFC 30 event in Louisiana, 'Big' Ben says, 'My style is made for this.'

At 40 years old, and with 23 years of combat sports competition to his name, Ben Rothwell isn't quite done just yet.

The veteran heavyweight spent the last 13 years on the UFC roster, scoring notable wins over the likes of Josh Barnett, Matt Mitrione, Alistair Overeem, Brendan Schaub and Gilbert Yvel, among others. However, as he entered the last fight of his contract earlier this year, Rothwell began to get a sense the promotion might have different plans for his future.
