Mixed Martial Arts career
Background
Bocek is one of Canada’s first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belts and has been studying the art for more than a decade. He first studied under Rickson and Renzo Gracie and then moved on to Nova Uniao where he received his black belt through Joao Roque. Joe Rogan has mentioned on multiple broadcasts of UFC events, that Bocek was the man who got the Fertitta brothers (the owners of UFC) into mixed martial arts by training them in the disciplines.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
He fought against Alvin Robinson at UFC 91 on November 16, 2008 and won by submission. His last fight was against David Bielkheden at UFC 97, where he dominated Bielkheden and submitted him by rear naked choke in the first round.
He was expected to face Matt Veach on December 5, 2009 at The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale until Veach stepped up to fight Frank Edgar as Kurt Pellegrino’s replacement. Bocek then fought UFC newcomer Joe Brammer on the same card.[1] He defeated Brammer via first round submission.
Bocek lost a close fought decision to Jim Miller on March 27, 2010 at UFC 111, despite controlling Miller throughout the contest. The decision resulted in general disagreement, even among the partisan crowd in Miller’s home state of New Jersey.
