Ryan Jimmo and Steve Bosse Verbally Agree to UFC Fight Night: Bisping vs. Kennedy Bout

Canadian light heavyweight standout Steve Bosse will make his UFC debut on April 16 against fellow Canadian Ryan Jimmo. UFC officials announced on Wednesday that the two have verbally agreed to the fight.

Jimmo (18-3) debuted in the UFC in July 2012. In his second fight under the UFC banner, he had a 17-fight winning streak snapped when he lost to James Te Huna by unanimous decision. He bounced back with a decision win over Igor Pokrajac at UFC 161, but is coming off a loss in his last outing to Jimi Manuwa.

The event is headlined by a middleweight match-up between Michael Bisping and Tim Kennedy. The card also features the fight between The Ultimate Fighter Nations coaches Patrick Cote and Kyle Noke in the co-main event.
