Ben Rothwell
Wants to fight: [autotag]Aleksei Oleinik[/autotag]
The callout: “Well, in all due respect. Mr. Oleinik. You beat the Werdum. So I know you asked for a big fight. They call me ‘Big Ben,’ so there you go, brother. Big fight, let’s do it.”
The reality: You’ll do well to find two more battle-hardened, gritty heavyweights in the sport than [autotag]Ben Rothwell[/autotag] and Oleinik, so why not match them up and see who’s best equipped to move up to face the top contenders?
Incredibly for a man who just made the 50th walk of his career, Rothwell would be the less-experienced man in the cage against “The Boa Constrictor,” who has a staggering 73 fights to his name. But both men want to push themselves into the title conversation at heavyweight, and a clash between the pair, perhaps in late-summer or early-fall, would push one of them one big step closer.
