Ben Rothwell earned a much-needed victory at UFC on ESPN 7, as he stopped Stefan Struve via technical knockout 4:57 into Round 2 of their featured heavyweight bout in Washington, D.C.
However, Rothwell’s victory will long be overshadowed by a pair of devastating low blows he landed on Struve over the course of the bout. The first kick found its way to Struve’s groin in the opening stanza, and the towering Dutchman needed all of his allotted recovery time before he could continue. The second occurred with a little more than one minute remaining in the second frame.
