About Jesse Ronson

Jesse Ronson (born December 24, 1985) is a Canadian mixed martial artist who competed the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the Lightweight division. A professional fighter since 2009, he has previously competed in promotions such as UFC, Aggression FC, Score Fighting Series and TKO Major League MMA, where he was the former Lightweight and Welterweight Champion.

A native of the streets of London, Ontario, he fought a lot in the streets as a young kid. "...Being naturally good , I figured I should make something of it instead of doing it on the streets and potentially getting arrested or charged." A wrestler in high school, he decided to start training in kickboxing and boxing in 2006 and switched over to MMA not long after. He got his nickname, "Body Snatcher," in 2006, after he had 3 fights in 3 days and won all three by first-round TKO with body shots.
