About Steve Bosse

Training: Hard work every day

When and why did you start training for fighting? I was always a fighter, from my hockey days when I was doing boxing training to today. I got hooked on MMA when I met my agent Stephane Patry; he gave me my first opportunity, and my first MMA fight was actually in the same building I’m making my UFC debut in, the Bell Centre, so I’m very excited. I started training for MMA back in 2006 and I never stopped. What ranks and titles have you held? Ringside MMA (local promotion) LHW champion. I was also ranked amongst the top 5 prospects in Canada outside of the UFC.

Do you have any heroes? I would definitely say Mike Tyson
