Ringside MMA

"Payback!"

November 13, 2010

Centre Pierre-Charbonneau

Montreal, Quebec (Canada)

Montreal – After a successfully conquering Quebec city on August 7 in front of a sold out crowd for

Ringside:  Invasion, Ringside MMA will be back in Montreal on November 13th at the Centre Pierre-

Charbonneau for our next event: Payback! Jonathan “Road Warrior” Goulet will be competing in his 35th

professional MMA fight by headlining an event for a 2nd straight time. Goulet (23-11-0), who has long been

in the shadow of teammate Georges St-Pierre, both at home and on the international scene, has also yet to

challenge for the opportunity of a title shot. Ringside is pleased to announce that he will finally have that

chance, as he will take on none other than Chris Clements (6-4-0) for the vacant welterweight title in a 5

round championship match at 170 pounds.

Representing the world renowned Trigym Gym in Montreal, Jonathan Goulet is coming off an impressive 1st

round TKO victory over Canadian prospect Matt MacGrath in his first fight for Ringside. Goulet was coming

off a loss at the hands of Marcus Davis in May at UFC 113 in Montreal, which was his first fight in over 2

years due to an injury. This loss signalled the end of his UFC contract, as he was let go by the American

promotion. The Victoriaville native stayed positive, and has decided to refocus his career by making it his

mission to accumulate championship titles. Preferring to seize the opportunity rather than be mired in self-

pity, Goulet has bounced back with a vengeance to quickly become Ringside MMA’s top contender for the

welterweight title.

Despite his limited experience in professional MMA fights, IFL veteran Chris Clements represents a major

threat for Jonathan Goulet, due to his innate talent for striking. Known for his ability to end fights quickly

through his explosive TKOs, this professional MMA fighter from Adrenaline MMA in London, Ontario (Team

Tompkins), will have the continued benefit of training with the likes of Mark Homonick, Sam Stout and Chris

Horodecki. Clements has already fought 6 times in Quebec, and his built a very strong fan base in the

province.

This matchup will no doubt cause some divisions amongst the Quebec fight fans who have grown to

support this group of Team Tompkins based fighters who have fought in Quebec over the last 7 years. Their

support should still be strong in number despite the implication of local favourite Jonathan Goulet.

In the co-main event of the night, rising star Alex Garcia (4-0-0), who has kept his record perfect intact

through his first four professional fights, will be facing the toughest challenge of his young career when he

takes on veteran Tyler « TNT » Jackson (9-6-1) from the Revolution Fight Time out of Langley, BC. Jackson

has already faced the likes of Samuel Guillet, Martin Grandmont and Sam Stout, and he was the first to put

a blemish the record of then undefeated Derek Gauthier in January 2010.

Derek Gauthier (6-2-0) is looking to get back into the win column, after most recently sending shockwaves

of concern through the crowd as a result of a brutal KO loss during Ringside: No Escape, at the hands of

veteran Dustin Poirier. His opponent for Payback has yet to be determined.

Making his fourth professional fight will be Christopher « The Tank » Boisvert (2-1) from Team Bergeron

who will face the Albertan Lenny Wheeler (3-1-0). Boisvert, a native of Drummondville, delivered one of his

best performances in a grudge match against rival Kevin Morin on June 18th – No Escape, which negated

his disqualification loss from their first encounter. On November 13th, one of Quebec’s best prospects will

look to represent his province when he takes on one of the best of Western Canada in Wheeler. For his part,

Wheeler rattled off three consecutive wins to start his career, but is coming off an arm bar submission loss

to Josh Machan. With all of their victories being earned through striking, the fans can expect a stand up war

between these two fighters.

The rest of the fight card is littered with rising stars and prospects, including the undefeated Rejean Groulx

(4-0-0) who will be challenged against a more experience Stephane Bernadel (6-2-0) from Ontario, Martin

Trempe who is making his professional debut along with his opponent Steve Begin from Sherbrooke,

Maxime Fecteau takes on the confident Tommy Cote(1-0-0), who recently won his first professional MMA

fight on August 7th against Eric Daigno from Longueuil, who also happens to be on the card and facing

Michael Pellerin, who is still looking for a win after two fights.
