Dominique Steele (born January 25, 1988) is an American professional mixed martial artist currently competing in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Born in Cincinnati and raised in Norwood, Ohio, Steele attended Norwood High School, graduating in 2006. At Norwood, Steele was a standout in wrestling, and held an impressive overall record of 43-1, winning every tournament the school competed in until injuring his ACL at the district tournament during his senior season (his only loss).
Steele began competing in amateur fights in 2009 before turning professional in 2011. He competed in several different regional promotions across the Ohio River Valley, including one fight stints in both Strikeforce and Bellator MMA. He was able to compile a record of 13-5.
After his victory over Chuck O'Neil in June 2015, Steele signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Steele is expected to make his promotional debut as a short notice replacement against Zak Cummings on July 25, 2015 at UFC on Fox 16, filling in for Antônio Braga Neto who pulled out citing injury. He lost the fight via TKO in the first round.
Steele was expected to face Hyun Gyu Lim on November 28, 2015 at UFC Fight Night 79. However, Lim pulled out of the fight in the week leading up to the event and was replaced by promotional newcomer Dong Hyun Kim. Steele won the fight via KO in the third round. The win also earned Steele his first Performance of the Night bonus award.
