Ben Rothwell
This is just another day in the office for Ben Rothwell as this fighter is going to compete in his 53rd professional MMA bout. He has won 39 of those and 28 ended in vicious knockouts. When it seemed that Rothwell’s career was about to end, this American fighter from Kenosha, Wisconsin found the fountain of youth winning three of his last four matches. The last time he competed inside the octagon was on May 22, 2021, during UFC Fight Night 188 as he submitted Chris Barnett via Guillotine choke. As usual, expect Rothwell to use his striking to win this upcoming bout against Marcos Rogerio de Lima.
Rogerio de Lima
Marcos Rogerio de Lima has been struggling to find consistency as his last 10 matches are see-sawing from wins and losses. He has been working hard honing his MMA skills at the American Top Team and a win over Ben Rothwell will definitely give him a good boost in his career. “Pezao” hopes to get his first back-to-back wins since 2014 after beating Maurice Green in UFC on ESPN 24 via unanimous decision. Prior to that battle, he lost to Alexander Romanov in November 2020 via a forearm choke in the first round. De Lima is also known as a knockout artist and will not fear going head-to-head against Rothwell’s power.
