Steve Jennum is a retired American mixed martial arts fighter and Nebraska Policeman. He was the winner of the UFC 3 tournament in 1994. At UFC 3, he was an alternate for Ken Shamrock, replacing Shamrock in the finals of the UFC 3 tournament. Jennum only had to fight one fight the entire night at UFC 3, while past champion Royce Gracie fought four fights in one night to win UFC 2. This anomaly prompted the UFC to change its rules, requiring alternates to fight a preliminary fight to balance the advantage of being an alternate. After UFC 3, Steve Jennum would go on to win only one additional fight in his career.
Prior to his debut in the ring, Jennum was a high ranking Black Belt Instructor in Robert Bussey's Warrior International (RBWI).
