Steve Bossé (born July 29, 1981) is a French Canadian mixed martial arts fighter. He currently fights as a Middleweight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Bosse was formerly a hockey enforcer in the Quebec semi-professional league Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey.[1]
Early life
Bossé played hockey as a child and his goal was to become a professional in that sport. Always a tough player, he would train in boxing in order to improve his effectiveness on the ice.[2] Bossé was a successful hockey enforcer in the Quebec semi-professional league of North American Hockey League. He began his training in mixed martial arts with Mark Colangelo, a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu under Renzo Gracie, and with Stephane Dube, a popular martial artist in Quebec. Bosse became interested in MMA in 2006 after he met his agent Stephane Patry, who gave him his first opportunity to fight.[2] Bossé made his professional debut in the organization TKO 1 st June 2007 at the Montreal Bell Centre against David Fraser.
Mixed martial arts career
Strike box / Titans Fighting controversy
On February 6, 2009, Bossé fought James Thompson at Strike Box/Titans Fighting's inaugural event in Quebec, Canada. The event was originally scheduled to be conducted under Strike Box's own rules where only boxing, takedowns and standing submissions were allowed, but the rules were not accepted by the province's athletic commission in time for the event. It was therefore instead conducted under MMA rules. Before the event some fighters agreed to fight under Strike Box's proposed rules as a gentleman's agreement, though the referee in charge would not have any choice but to allow ground fighting were it to happen. Thompson, who later claimed to be unaware of the agreement, proceed to take down, mount and ground and pound Bosse - as allowed under MMA rules - after Bosse went for a standing guillotine choke at the start of the fight. This caused the attending audience to boo Thompson and the referee, unaware of that the fight was technically conducted under MMA rules. Beer cans and eventually chairs were then thrown into the ring, prompting referee Yves Lavigne to stop the match declaring it a no contest.[3][4]
