Max
Rohskopf is going to get another chance on the big stage.
The one-time UFC competitor has signed a multi-fight contract to
compete in Bellator MMA. Multiple outlets confirmed the deal
following an initial announcement from the fighter’s management. A
date and opponent for Rohskopf’s debut is currently unknown.
After winning his first five professional bouts, Rohskopf debut in
the Octagon at UFC on ESPN 11, where he famously quit on his stool
after two rounds in a loss to Austin
Hubbard. Rohskopf accepted the bout on one week’s notice and
fatigued badly in the second round, which led to him absorbing a
beating from Hubbard in the frame. The former North Carolina State
University wrestler was
released from the UFC following the defeat.
The 27-year-old Zenith MMA product has fought twice since that
infamous bout, besting Jefferson
Creighton and Jordan
Bailey under the Cage Warriors banner. He owns a 7-1 career
mark overall.
