Cagepotato.com Interviews Big Ben:
Training with Duke Roufus, I imagine you’ve been working a lot with Pat Barry to get ready for a good kickboxer like Cro Cop.
Of course. It’s been very important. It’s my opinion that Pat’s one of the best kickboxers there is, whether it’s K-1 or wherever. Now he’s made the transition to MMA and he’s constantly getting better everywhere, so he’s a great guy to have on my side. We make each other better.
Are you expecting this fight to basically be a kickboxing match with MMA gloves on?
[Prolonged silence] Sure.
Okay, let me put it another way. Would you like the fight to go that way?
Honestly, I’m trying to say as little as possible about what I want to do or how I think the fight’s going to go. I think I did too much of that the last two times and it kind of blew up in my face. It was too much talking and not enough action. I just need to focus on the fight and see how it goes down on fight night without talking about it too much.

Is Rothwell trying to commit suicide? JDS is a way better kickboxer...and despite his training with Pat Barry, Cro Cop wants Rothwell to kickbox with him. Oh man, too bad I already sent in my picks!!!
