Heavyweights Philipe Lins and Ben Rothwell have been booked to fight at UFC’s March 13th “Fight Night” event. The bout was first reported by Raphael Marinho of Combate.
The fight joins a card that does not have a confirmed location at the moment.
Lins has yet to win since joining the UFC in 2020. The 2018 PFL Heavyweight Champion has taken a decision loss to Andrei Arlovski and a stoppage loss to Tanner Boser since he joined the roster.
Rothwell, a veteran of the division, will be returning after taking a decision loss against Marcin Tybura in October. With over a decade of experience in the UFC now, Rothwell has a promotional record of eight wins and seven losses.
