A lightweight clash pitting veterans Mark Bocek (11-5) and Evan Dunham (14-5) against one another has been scheduled for The Ultimate Fighter Nations: Canada vs. Australia Finale, UFC officials announced on Thursday.
Bocek and Dunham, who carry a combined 24 fights of UFC experience between them, both hope to get back on the winning track after suffering losses in their most recent Octagon appearance.
Bocek, 32, sat out all of 2013 due to injury. He now fights for the first time since suffering a unanimous decision loss to Rafael dos Anjos in November 2012.
The setback snapped a prior two-fight win streak for Bocek, which included victories over Nik Lentz and John Alessio.
Likewise, Dunham, 32, looks to rebound from a tough 2013 campaign which saw the American edge out a split decision over Gleison Tibau, before dropping back-to-back contests against dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone.
TUF Nations Finale is scheduled to take place April 16, 2014 at the Colisée Pepsi in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. An updated fight card can be seen below.
- Patrick Cote vs. Kyle Noke
