Ben Rothwell Cuts Best-Worst Promo in MMA History at UFC Fight Night 68

Ben Rothwell scored a huge first-round victory by submitting Matt Mitrione at UFC Fight Night 68 in New Orleans on Saturday, but his winning didn’t stop at the tapout.

UFC Fight Night 68 Results: The Real Winners and Losers from New Orleans

UFC Fight Night 68 was, on paper, not a very good card. Of course, the problem with paper is that it’s two-dimensional, and immutable. Unless you know origami. Which I do not. Title implications and hot up-and-comers were hard to come by throughout the 12-fight slate, which went down Saturday evening from New Orleans. The main […]
