Ben Rothwell could become a BKFC “champ champ” when the promotion makes its debut in Australia.

The BKFC announced Tuesday that its debut card in Australia on July 18 is set to be headlined by Rothwell fighting Alex Simon for the inaugural BKFC super heavyweight title. Rothwell (37-14 in MMA) claimed a heavyweight title with a 36-second knockout of Mick Terrill this past January.
