Gallery Markus Perez def. James Bochnovic at UFC 224: Best photos view 19 images RIO DE JANEIRO – Markus Perez had a pretty solid night at Saturday’s UFC 224. Not only did he get his first octagon win, but he also did it with a first-round submission . But that is not to say that the night went entirely to plan. Perez (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) actually came into it hoping to land an extremely specific move against James Bochnovic (8-3 MMA, 0-2 UFC). “It’s a kick in which he does a spinning back to the body, then he turns and kicks the head,” Perez told reporters backstage at Jeunesse Arena.
