The Ultimate Fighter Nations Finale takes place from the Colisee Pepsi in Quebec City on April 16th and will be headlined by a middleweight bout as Michael Bisping meets Tim Kennedy.
Bosse (10-1) trains out of TriStar Gym in Montreal and has won eight straight fights since losing to Icho Larenas in 2007. During his winning streak, seven of the victories have come by stoppage and six of those wins have come in the first round.
