Steinbeiss was part of the transfer of light heavyweight and middleweight fighters in theWEC to theUFC.
He was supposed to make his debut atUFC Fight Night 18 againstRyan Jensen, but the fight was pulled from the card. It was then rescheduled forUFC Fight Night: Diaz vs. Guillard. Steinbeiss lost the fight after Jensen applied a guillotine choke and the referee prematurely stopped the fight thinking Steve was out. Steinbeiss was instead giving the ref the thumbs up, the referee proclaimed that he thought Steinbeiss went limp.
Steinbeiss was expected to faceNick Catone on January 11, 2010 atUFC Fight Night 20, but was pulled from the card before the event due to injury.[2]
