Canadian UFC lightweight veteran Mark Bocek retires from MMA

One of Canada’s all time best, Mark Bocek retired from MMA by announcing the news via his Twitter account.

“I’m retiring from pro mma.I would like to thank everyone who has helped me and supported me throughout this journey. Onto the next chapter.”

Bocek made his Octagon debut against Frankie Edgar at UFC 73:”Stacked” back in June of 2007.

He most definitely helped pave the way for today’s generation of athletes in Canada whom wish to compete in the Ocatgon one day.
