Ben Rothwell, who was riding a two-fight winning streak, was unable to clinch his third in a row, dropping the unanimous decision to the Polish striker Marcin Tybura. Rothwell had strong striking numbers on the night, landing 89 significant strikes (95 total strikes), with 63 of those strikes landing to the head of Tybura. The 38-year-old Wisconsin native may have become the new gate-keeper for the heavyweight division's top-15 rankings. It's unknown how much Rothwell has left in the tank. At heavyweight, the fighters seem to have a longer shelf life than in other divisions, but his days as a fantasy scorer are probably in the past.--Matt Bricker

Heavyweights take to the main card when veteran Ben Rothwell (39-13) takes a co-main-event slot to face Brazilian heavyweight Marcos Rogerio de Lima on Saturday night. The 40-year-old Rothwell has been a member of the UFC since 2009 and will hope that veteran experience can propel him to back-to-back victories and his fourth victory in five fights. DraftKings sees Rothwell as the big favorite with a salary of $8,600. Throughout his UFC career, Rothwell averages 70.9 fantasy points per contest. De Lima is 2-2 in his last four bouts and has yet to face a veteran of Rothwell's experience and caliber yet in the UFC.--Matt BrickerRead More News
