Big Ben what a warrior

[@shawntyler863]

Ben Rothwell is a beast. And I like how he's down to earth. He lives in a modest house not flashy. Good man hope he wins belt

[@TheNotoriousGhost]

Hopefully big Ben and Mick Terril can sort out a fight in Newcastle soon. August or even July. Would be a sell out in minutes. Find out who is the best a HW! I for 1 would pay to watch that

[@ryanmcemery354]

After that first exchange he didn't want anymore. Anybody could see he started thinking this was a mistake

[@scottcarchide3410]

Love Big Ben! Always been a huge fan of his! Get that man a beer, a steak, and a quick turn around fight, in Ireland! The Viking Ogre has spoken!

[@user-ig3ve9gi2m]

Mick terrill will put an end to him in bare knuckle

[@scottcarchide3410]

@@user-ig3ve9gi2m will be a good fight for sure. I think Ben’s size, experience, and ability to fight in 3 different stances fluidly will earn him a 3rd round KO. Mick’s great but Ben is the superior fighter. Boxer, idk, but fighter for sure

[@user-ig3ve9gi2m]

@@scottcarchide3410 better fighter 😂😂😂 You do know micks background is kick-boxing and Muay Thai don’t you, mick is faster, and is hard to hit, if hunt cannot hit him in a fight then Ben has no chance,

[@scottcarchide3410]

@@user-ig3ve9gi2m lmfaoooo imagine thinking a kickboxer is a better fighter than an MMA fighter 🤣🤣🤣 you must be new here!

[@user-hc1ll8lj4i]

@@scottcarchide3410read the guys other part again if hunt can’t get near mick then what chance has Big Ben 👍🏻🫵🏻🤡😂

Once Knox is on the job it’s over baby

[@dredayss]

Straight biz

[@mickeymiller9203]

Great job. Straight to the top.

[@bigben3163]

Lil Ben rothwell is such a good dude can’t wait to see you again big fella

[@Combatsportscoverage]

Sign me up for Ben vs Francis PFL

[@s5907]

In bkfc no gloves !

[@casuallevelexpert3112]

Big Ben!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

FUTURE : BK-MMA under Pride rules or UFC rules. The real King of Kings tournament , the real bloodsport. I would name it BARE KNUCKLES PRIDE or BK-Pride or BKP if Pride rules were to be imposed , which would be the best option. Combining this new , more real product (demand existing for it) , with conor mcgregor promotion and influence , establishing HQ of it all in Ireland and the shit is exploding. EMERAULD ISLES GROUP baby !!!!
