Highly touted prospect Max Rohskopf had a rough night in his UFC debut after he asked for his fight against Austin Hubbard to be stopped between the second and third rounds.
Despite a fast start, Rohskopf wasn’t able to secure a finish after multiple submission attempts and Hubbard began chipping away at him with a barrage of strikes. As the second round came to an end, Rohskopf went back to his corner with blood streaming down his face and told his coaches that he could no longer continue.
While his chief cornerman Robert Drysdale tried to convince him to go back out for the final five minutes, Rohskopf was emphatic that he was done and referee Mark Smith finally waived off the fight.
