'''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. Ronson is currently signed to BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Instagram |url=https://www.instagram.com/p/DNBiqwVTs-A/ |access-date=2025-08-22 |website=www.instagram.com}}</ref>
==Background== A native of the streets of London, Ontario, he claims he fought a lot in the streets as a young kid. Ronson brags "...Being naturally good [at fighting], 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.<ref name=ufcprofile /> 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.
==Mixed martial arts career==
===Early career=== He made his professional MMA debut on November 28, 2009, at ''Elite 1 - Resurrection'' in Moncton. He defeated local favorite Eric St. Pierre with a first-round KO. He went on to win his next three bouts, but suffered his first career loss against Lindsey Hawkes at a catch weight of 163lbs.
He defeated current UFC fighter Jason Saggo by decision in August 2011. After this impressive showing, he received a shot at the AM Ford Fight Night Lightweight Championship. He defeated the champ, Brad Causey (who was coming in at 10-1 into the bout), on April 14, 2012, at ''AM Ford Night 2012 - Demolition'' via first-round KO to capture the belt.
At ''Score Fighting Series 7'', Ronson defeated WEC and Strikeforce vet Ryan Healy, and received a shot at the Aggression FC Lightweight Championship on July 5, 2013, against Shane Campbell at AFC 19: Undisputed, where he captured the belt with a second round submission victory.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.mmacanada.net/2013/07/afc-19-ford-ronson-earn-afc-titles-edmonton/|title=AFC 19: Ford and Ronson earn AFC titles in Edmonton|date=July 6, 2013|work=mmacanada.net|access-date=January 2, 2015|archive-date=September 23, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200923085817/http://www.mmacanada.net/2013/07/afc-19-ford-ronson-earn-afc-titles-edmonton/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
