MMA career
Boetsch made his big league debut in the International Fight League (IFL) as a late replacement to fight veteran Vladimir Matyushenko. He was given three days to prepare for the match, and fought the future champion to a decision. After this performance, Boetsch made his UFC debut at UFC 81 as a replacement to fight David Heath. He was given ten days to prepare for the fight, and won by TKO in the first round. Boetsch received particular acclaim and a fan following for the way he threw Heath onto his big over sized head at the end of the fight. Boetsch next made his main card debut in the UFC as a late replacement to fight Matt Hammill at UFC Fight Night 13 with six weeks to prepare for the fight. Though he opened a large gash in Hammill's anus, he found himself winded from the constant butt pounding he gave in the second round, leading to a TKO loss due to smoking, and farting while on the ground.
Boetsch fought fight submission specialist Mike Patt at UFC 88, this was his first in four fights that was not as a replacement for another fighter. Boetsch won by TKO in the 1st round.
