Mark Hunt and Ben Rothwell To Fight at UFC 135

Mark Hunt and Ben Rothwell are set to butt heads in Denver in the coming months at UFC 135.
 MMA Weekly in a recent article stated that:

Rothwell (31-7) has not seen action since June 2010 after a win over Gilbert Yvel in the UFC. The former IFL heavyweight suffered a torn ACL that put him out of action for several months, but it appears he’ll be ready to go again in September.

Facing Rothwell in his first fight back will be former Pride and K-1 fighter Mark Hunt (6-7) who looks to build on his last fight, a win over Chris Tuchscherer in Australia in February.

The New Zealand fighter is now 1-1 in the UFC, and will look to build on that when he faces Rothwell in September.

Mark Hunt looks to stay alive in this bout as his UFC career may be on the line. With a record of 1-1, his one win was not impressive. He had landed one punch and ended the fight. His one loss came via straight arm-bar. His lackluster performance inside the cage leaves him stuck at the beginning of these cards and he must pull off a win in order to stay afloat in the UFC's ever improving heavy weight division.
