It’s been an uneven UFC journey for the 31-year-old featherweight from Massachusetts since debuting with the promotion two years ago. Bochniak has alternated wins and losses in his four Octagon appearances, losing a unanimous decision to Charles Rosa in January 2016 before scraping by with a split decision win over Enrique Barzola in his next fight.
A trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, saw Bochniak lose another unanimous decision, this time to Jeremy Kennedy, before he outpointed Brandon Davis in front of a lively Boston crowd at UFC 220.
