Ben Rothwell is an example of a truly stubborn fighter who just can't be broken. As a child, he almost went blind and lay in a coma for 11 days, and as a teenager he got into a terrible car accident in which his friend died. But all these events only tempered the character of the American, who has been performing in mixed martial arts for 20 years, during this time he had 51 professional fights and is clearly not going to end his career, because in just a few days he will have another fight in the UFC Octagon.At one time, he knocked out Alistair Overeem and Brandon Vera, strangled Josh Barnett, defeated Matt Mitrion, Brandon Schaub, Gilbert Ivel, Ricco Rodriguez and many other famous fighters. He traveled all over the world and once looked into Russia.
The young American giant, nicknamed Big Ben, came to the M-1 Russia vs. the World 4 tournament on November 15, 2002, with a record of 13 victories and only two defeats.
His rival was Ibragim Magomedov, who was gaining momentum, for whom the fight against Rothwell was only the fifth in his career. The two future legends of mixed martial arts met that evening in a decagonal cage at the Yubileiny Sports Palace in St. Petersburg.
