Long gone are the days of Ben Rothwell running over the IFL heavyweight roster. Rothwell’s current career trajectory appears murky; the man has alternated wins and losses in his last seven bouts.
Tonight, he came up short against Gabriel Gonzaga, again preventing the rugged veteran from piecing together two consecutive victories.
With a promotional record of 2-3 Rothwell’s future with the UFC is certainly up in the air. If the man hopes to remain employed by the world’s largest MMA promotion, he’s got to prove he can consistently win fights.
It’s time for Rothwell to rediscover his confidence. These are a few men who might aid him in his cause.
