And sharing his thoughts on a rumored fight with Batié knockout artist, Ngannou in the former UFC champion’s debut in the SmartCage, Rothwell welcomed a potential fight with the ex-titleholder.

“If I got offered to fight Francis Ngannou, we would have a serious sit down with everybody involved because that’s the kind of fight that I think anybody, any of the guys in my position would want to take,” Ben Rothwell told MMA Junkie. “I can’t speak for them, but I 100 percent would take that fight, yes. Indeed. It’s one of those fights that’s a legacy fight.”

“… They’re already talking about him (Francis Ngannou) and Tyson Fury having a rematch, so it sounds like he’s got his hands full, but something like that would be fun to come back to.” Ben Rothwell explained. “But outside that I’m having a lot of fun with BKFC and I got plenty to do here.”
