Steve Steinbeiss WEC™ Fight History:

Fighter Biography

Training: Typically, I wake up at 430-go to work (Waltz construction). Workout at the fitness gym next to our jobsite at 10am. Finish work at 2, head to the Lions Den MMA gym. Workout from 3-5 with the guys. Go home, shower, eat, help take care of our 5 month old daughter.  Sometimes if I can't get away at lunch, I'll go to my fitness gym near my house & swim or run. Saturdays, I meet a few guys from work & usually Seth Baczynski and do a kettlebell & run/stadium workout.

Thoughts on opponent, Rob Kimmons? I think Rob Kimmons is a solid fighter with an impressive record.  He has a lot of experience and wins fights by being tougher than his opponents. My style will give him a lot of problems but I do think we could be fight of the night easily.
