Ben Rothwell interested in fighting Francis Ngannou in PFL: ‘That’s a legacy fight’

Ben Rothwell is happy with his path down the bareknuckle boxing route, but he wouldn’t mind taking a detour back into MMA.

The former UFC contender and long-time MMA veteran is interested in fighting Francis Ngannou in PFL. Rothwell thinks that would be a giant fight for his legacy and one that would definitely get him back into MMA, as few would at this stage in his career.

“If I got offered to fight Francis Ngannou, we would have a serious sit down with everybody involved because that’s the kind of fight that I think anybody, any of the guys in my position would want to take,” Rothwell told MMA Junkie Radio. “I can’t speak for them, but I 100 percent would take that fight, yes. Indeed. It’s one of those fights that’s a legacy fight.”
