Seven months prior, Rothwell invited his subsequent kid, this time a young man.

Not terrible to gain from somebody who has been in the UFC beginning around 2009 and is near the precarious edge of his 40th vocation win this end of the week in the co-headliner of UFC Fight Night: Holloway versus Rodriguez. 

however, 40 vocation wins isn't sufficient for the 40-year-old.

Rothwell realizes that his heavyweight session with de Lima won't be a simple one. 

"He has been near and had a great deal of intense battles with a ton of troublemakers." Rothwell said. "He's a kickboxer by heart. He tosses hard kicks and presently he's formed into attempting to go for takedowns and become even more a blended military craftsman. He's another troublemaker. That is the manner by which it is in the UFC, each individual you battle will be the hardest fella on earth."
