Struve has some good jiujitsu so he could probably submit Ben, but who knows. That would be an interesting fight though.<br /> He would probably need to bulk up a little.<br /> And I think Rothwell needs to work on his conditioning. I dont question his heart whatsoever, I just think he has some things he should definitely work on.</p> <p>Hardonk is another idea, seeing how he is coming off of a loss to Barry. </p> http://forums.mmafrenzy.com/topic/ben-rothwell#post-9281 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:43:22 +0000 chrisl 9281@http://forums.mmafrenzy.com/ <p>Great question!

However, would you have him fight Gonzaga if he beat Dos Santos, or if he lost to Dos Santos?</p> <p>How about Kongo vs. Rothwell? That could be interesting.<br /> I think Kongo would win that fight though. The only way I could see Rothwell winning is if he found a way to really use his weight to his advantage, or if he worked on his wrestling.<br /> Because we all know Kongo has a horrible history against wrestlers. </p> http://forums.mmafrenzy.com/topic/ben-rothwell#post-9274 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:34:26 +0000 Gunslinger 9274@http://forums.mmafrenzy.com/ <p>gonzaga .....gonzaga gonzaga!!!!!!!!!!! </p> http://forums.mmafrenzy.com/topic/ben-rothwell#post-9272 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:25:23 +0000 JENKINS! 9272@http://forums.mmafrenzy.com/ <p>Now that Rothwell is officially 0-1 in the UFC, whats next for him?</p> <p>Possible opponents?

In my time I've been known to wager a case of beer or a my head of hair on the outcome of a fight, but the DeathClutch thing is off the hook, had me laughing my @$$ off, and I'm looking forward to the fight now more than ever.<br /> Although to be honest, and I know this is going to upset Velasquez's fans and border on fighter-bashing, Carwin is going to murder Velasquez. I think Velasquez has a bright MMA future, but in the final analysis his time is a ways off, and for Shane Carwin his future is right now, particularly in a division looking for a solution to the Brock Lesnar problem... </p>
