Ben Rothwell has fought 36 fights in his MMA career. Not one of those fights has been in the UFC. He will finally make his UFC debut this Saturday against Cain Velasquez at UFC 104. According to Rothwell, getting to the UFC was never the goal; winning the belt is his motive.The goal of my career was to get to the UFC, but not just get there – dominate there and finish my career there. The things I’ve done so far are not real accomplishments. To me there’s only one accomplishment, and that’s the belt. This is the chance I’ve been waiting for. It’s my chance to really let my wings unfold. People are going to see an entirely different Ben Rothwell. I want to get the belt and make that a starting point. I really haven’t shown the best that I’ve got.
Though Velasquez, one of the UFC's hottest up-and-comers, will be a tough test for Rothwell, you shouldn't look past him. He has only one loss in his past ten fights, and that was to Andrei Arlovski before his career-changing loss to Fedor Emelianenko.
