Timothy A. Boetsch (/ˈboʊtʃ/; born January 28, 1981) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently fighting in the Middleweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. In addition to the UFC, Boetsch has formerly competed as an alternate for the New York Pitbulls in the International Fight League and King of the Cage. He is known for his ability to come back from losing fights, as shown in his bouts with Yushin Okami & Brad Tavares.
Boetsch was born in Lincolnville, Maine and has a brother, Aaron, who is ten years older than him. Boetsch began wrestling when he was six years old, and had always admired his older brother's wrestling abilities. Boetsch, who also practiced Jeet Kune Do, attended Camden Hills Regional High School, where his achievements on the wrestling mat were staggering. Boetsch was a four-time state wrestling champion, and won almost every tournament that he participated in. On August 4, 2012, he was inducted into the Maine Wrestling Hall of Fame. He then attended Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania on a wrestling scholarship, but had mixed results in his wrestling career there. Boetsch had trouble settling into the right weight-class, and was not consistent. His college roommate, who was also on the wrestling team, had been training with the legendary Pat Miletich after he left college. Boetsch's roommate then offered Boetsch the opportunity to fight in Iowa, and Boetsch, who was landscaping in Pennsylvania at the time, accepted.
