Kyle Bochniak Knows UFC Boston is 'Do-or-Die' for his UFC Career

Kyle Bochniak is on a two-fight losing streak, and knows he must win on Friday at UFC on ESPN 6 in Boston.

Bochniak (8-4) claims that he would have fought much sooner, as he last competed 10 months ago at UFC 231. Since then, the Ultimate Fighting Championship has not been able to find him an opponent.

"I'm not sure, there were a couple of back-and-forths. I accepted several fights, I'm a game guy, a tough guy. I'm 2-4 in the UFC, and they would be coming to my hometown," Bochniak told Sherdog.com. "There is not a whole lot of upside I guess to beat me. If I beat them, it doesn't look good for them. It is a dangerous fight for anyone. It isn't a fight a lot of people wanted to take."

The person that did take the fight was Sean Woodson (6-0), who is coming off of a flying knee knockout win on Dana White's Contender Series. For "Crash," he admits he doesn't know much about his opponent, but does believe he is better everywhere.

"Just had to find out about him when we got the fight," he explained. "He is a tall guy, very long, good amateur background and likes [his] jab. He has no other threats, no takedown threat, [and] no kick threat. I'm going to have the speed and power advantage.”

Bochniak is confident his skill set will be too much for Woodson. If it isn't, he knows his time in the UFC will be over.

"I need to win this fight and win impressively if I'm going to earn my third UFC contract. I have the whole crowd behind me and I'm looking forward to it. Like, I got to win here, I got to win impressively," Bochniak said. "This whole camp was me knowing my back is against the wall, I'm all-in for this fight. I've done everything right and it is do-or-die."

Even though his back may be against the wall, don't expect Bochniak to abandon his in-your-face style. Instead, he promises this will be another exciting fight on his record.

"I don't see this fight being boring. I'm going in there to destroy my opponent. I respect my opponent, but this is my time and I'm going to beat him," Bochniak concluded.
