It was only a matter of time.
Mark Bocek will be making his UFC debut tonight at UFC 73 – “Stacked” taking place in Sacramento, California where he will be going up against Frank Edgar (6-0-0).
Bocek, who teaches at the “Kombat Arts Training Academy” in Mississauga Ontario, is one of Canada’s first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts. A highly respected and feared fighter who has achieved numerous (amateur) international wins before he decided to go Pro MMA.
Bocek who has fought in events such as King of the Cage and TKO, has earned himself a 4-0-0 Pro MMA record defeating Garett Davis, John Mahlow, Kevin Manderson, and Mark Colangelo. None of his fights have gone past the first round.
Although Bocek is well known in Canada, not too many people have heard of him as far as the United States goes. After tonight, that will all change.

Liz Posener, a Pankration and Muay Thai fighter from Vancouver B.C., has been busy turning some heads in the past few months.
The 31 year old wife and mother of two began training in Pankration and Muay Thai in 1998 - two years after her first pregnancy with her baby daughter. Initially, she viewed the sport as “fun” and a great way to get back into shape. At the time, little did she know, that she was entering the world of MMA.
Liz had participated in an MMA “Team Quest” mini camp. After three days of training with Randy Couture, Matt Lindland, Nate Quarry, and Robert Follis, she stated “I learned enough in the first 15 minutes to get my moneys worth.” Two months after the camp, she was fighting in her first MMA match.
Training under her husband Simon, she has achieved an MMA record of 4-2-1, and has fought in previous events such as Elite Fighting Championships, Real Cage Fighting Championships, and Unified Cage Fights.
She’s already obtained a handful of supporting sponsors including SubmitGear.com, Nogi.com, and Bushido.ca and is currently featured on the cover of 2 MMA magazine’s; “NW FightScene” and “FightZone”. Full Contact Magazine has also written a 2-page article on her and her accomplishments.

Submit Gear would like to congratulate sponsored Canadian fighter Mark Bocek for his recent win at the “King of the Cage – Freedom Fight” in Gatineau Quebec. Mark dominated the fight forcing King of the Cage veteran John Mahlow to submit to an armbar in the first round.
Mark (also known as “Big Red”) began his martial arts training at the age of 8. After receiving his black belt in Kempo Karate, he started training BJJ under Rickson and Renzo Gracie. He then later moved on to Nova Uniao where he received his black belt through Joao Roque, making him the first Canadian-born BJJ black belt.
Now teaching BJJ out of the Kombat Arts Training Academy in Mississauga Ontario, Mark is ready to dominate the MMA world. With a well-established list of local and international championships (including the 2006 ADCC North American Trials for Submission Grappling) and with his current undefeated 3-0-0 record, Mark has his eyes set on the UFC.
