Summary

Ben Rothwell is set to make his first post-UFC appearance this weekend, taking on -- say it with us now -- Bobo "The Bible Belt Brawler" O'Bannon in BKFC. You know what, call us crazy, but considering his size, skills and experience, we kinda think Rothwell might do OK in BKFC. Plus, Melvin Manhoef calls it a career (but not before getting pounded into the Black Lands by Yoel Romero) and this weekend's UFC Fight Night event seems like ... well ... straight trash.

0:18.0	That's right, you're listening to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.
0:24.6	I'm Chad Dundas. That's Ben Fulks. We're both longtime MMA journalists. And for the last 10 years,
0:31.1	we've been meeting here every week to break down all the action in the wild, weird, and

1:40.8	and yet I don't feel confident that this is the last time.
1:46.3	It is entirely possible that this is just the next time. You know what I mean? They could do it again, again, again, again,
1:53.9	brother, for all we know. We could be really looking at a Jake Lamata, Sugar Ray Robinson type
1:59.9	situation.
