In his post-fight interview, Rothwell sent a message to the rest of the heavyweight division.

“I said I was going to put the heavyweights on notice, but I believe there’s actually more questions now,” said Rothwell. “That didn’t show it. And I need everyone — if you’re a fan, to let Dave Feldman and BKFC know that you want to see what I can really do as soon as possible.

“To every heavyweight out there watching, you need to know you have seen nothing yet,” continued Rothwell, who finished off with his patented evil laugh.

Rothwell is now 1-0 in BKFC. He weighed in at 292.3 lbs for the contest.
