Ben Rothwell vs. Junior Dos Santos

both junkie and bleacher report announced it.

Personally I really don't like this matchup, especially for Big Ben. Not only do they put him vs. a very dangerous opponent but it's an American vs. a Brazilian in Croatia, it happens to be on the same card as Gonzaga which will remind people that Gabriel has a submission win over Rothwell, and Dos Santos just lost to Overeem so if he loses it effectively nullifies his win over Reem and if he wins then JDS "isn't the same anymore". 

Great opportunity for JDS though to rebound from the Reem loss.

Yea it a stupid fight for Rothwell, but the UFC does not like him so it is what it is. I am not even going to to be surprised when Rothwell wins and they down play the win and make him fight again before he gets a title shot.

Id guess at his age he wouldnt want to sit out waiting for werdum and cain to get better and have another go at their match. A win over another former champion in JDS would make his claim for a title shot based on a 5 fight streak pretty difficult to deny.

I agree. Especially since the only thing that sort of nullifies his win over Reem is Reem's win over JDS. If Ben beats JDS too his win over Reem serves as the perfect "tie-breaker".

JDS has not been doing well the last few years.  I can see Ben outworking him for the UD.

That is in the modern UFC. The early days had mostly Heavyweights.
