Mixed martial arts career

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Wisniewski made his UFC debut at UFC 56 against Nick Thompson. He lost a unanimous decision.

Post-UFC

Following his release from the UFC, Wisniewski lost four straight fights but then went on a six-fight winning streak that included victories over UFC veterans Pete Spratt and Chris Wilson, leading to him being re-signed with the promotion.

Return to UFC

Wisniewski faced Josh Neer in his UFC return on October 1, 2011 at UFC Live: Cruz vs. Johnson.[1] He lost the fight via TKO (doctor stoppage) at the conclusion of the second round.

Wisniewski faced newcomer Chris Clements on April 21, 2012 at UFC 145.[2] He lost the fight via split decision after three back and forth rounds.

Wisniewski was slated to face Marcelo Guimares on September 4, 2013 at UFC Fight Night 28.[3] However, Guimaraes pulled out of the bout citing an injury and was replaced by Ivan Jorge.[4] He lost the fight via unanimous decision and was subsequently released from the promotion.
