00:00Then the next fight coming up was of course the heavyweight title on the line

00:03between Big McTerrell and Big Ben Rothwell. The two heavyweights Terrell

00:07was the champion over from Britain having won it against Adams defending it

00:12against the juggernaut. Rothwell this guy was undefeated in the BKFC of course a

00:16long time and made that a tough dude a huge beast of a man. Had to cut 31 pounds

00:22a week of the fight he told Daryl Hawane in order to make weight and was almost a

00:25two-to-one underdog. I was amazed at that if you watched the fight last week we

00:29said Rothwell by TKO in the third if it went long we got to the fourth and the

00:33fifth maybe Rothwell get tired out but I thought that he was just too big too

00:37aggressive too powerful for Terrell to outlast him and that came true even

00:41faster than I thought. Round one Rothwell gets the first round KO. They guys

00:47are feeling out early. Rothwell axling out. I poked Terrell about 15 seconds in so

00:51it's a little bit of a break but then once they get back in there Terrell

00:54tries to go after Rothwell and you know lands a good left and then the right

00:58over the top there from Rothwell not the biggest punch not the biggest windup

01:02not a huge hook or anything like that but the guy has so much power that you see

01:07Nick Terrell the champ fall like a tree and his belt is now in the hands of Big

01:12Ben who spoke afterwards about you know having that title but you know what

01:15maybe that's not enough maybe the payday is what really you know is gonna drive

01:19him as we get into 2025 here for the BKFC.

01:22Ben, President David Feldman said that you'd make a great fit for the 25

01:27million dollar tournament. Are you open to that? Yeah! I was like thank you for

01:32asking yes I'm in good luck finding the opponents but I'm in because I if this

01:39is bare-knuckle I'm gonna win it you're gonna make me you're gonna change my

01:43life because I will win it I don't care who you put in there get the biggest

01:46best names bare-knuckle is different than anything I've done in my life I've

01:50done kickboxing boxing MMA I've done it all this is not like anything you just

01:55don't do this you just don't learn it so let's put me in it because I'm the

01:59best I am the best at this. After the fight Rompel talked in the ring there

02:05about how great the Philly crowd was how this was you know one of the best

02:08crafts he's ever fought in and how grateful he was for the BKFC he'll be a

02:12lot more grateful if he gets 15 million dollars win that tournament but but I

02:15don't even think it's fair to put him in there I don't even know a heavyweight

02:17maybe in the BKFC that can take him on and just that weight class you start

02:21throwing guys in for 175 and up how are they gonna take on Big Ben Rothwell I
