This bout is set to be the co-main event for the Dublin show in October with the Duffy Vs Poirier fight headlining.

 

Stipe has been campaigning for a title shot but realistically with only one win and one loss recently he was going to be passed over, still Rothwell is on a 3 fight win streak with impressive wins over some big names in the heavyweight division. An impressive win over Rothwell could be the leap Stipe needs to cement himself as a title contender.

 

Rothwell is coming into this fight on a bit of a tear, beating Vera, Overeem and Mitrione, a win over Stipe would really put him high up on a crowded list of hopfull title contenders and also may have us catch another top class post fight promo.
