Ben Rothwell Wants to Face the Winner of Travis Browne vs. Fabricio Werdum

Ben Rothwell spoke with MMAjunkie about having to pull out of his fight with Fabricio Werdum at UFC 203. Some highlights are below:

On pulling out due to his injury: “Now I’m in a healing state. It’s sad for this fight, because it was a great fight for me.”

On Travis Browne stepping in: “Good for him to step up and get in that fight. I know a lot of people are not really giving him much because of the first fight between them. I think it’s MMA, and now there’s an exciting factor to it. A hard right hand lands on Werdum, and all of a sudden, Browne wins. It could happen.”

On wanting the winner of the Browne/Werdum fight: “I’ve got to get ready. I hope I can take on the winner of that fight.”

On recovering from the injury: “That’s what I’m working toward. The best I can say is I’m healing.”
