Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos AUCKLAND, New Zealand – Luke Jumeau wasn’t entirely at ease during his UFC debut, but he thankfully counted on some massive home love to get through it. Jumeau (12-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) added a seventh win to his current streak by edging out Dominique Steele (14-9 MMA, 1-4 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 110. Nerves, Jumeau said, certainly came into play on Saturday, but fighting a short drive away from his hometown of Hamilton, the 29-year-old was able to get the push that he needed from his fans, family and friends. “(It) got me through my jitters, picked me up in spots where I needed it,” Jumeau said after the FS1-televised preliminary-card welterweight scrap at Spark Arena in Auckland, New Zealand.
