After they  break "New Ground" in Halfax, Nova Scotia on October 23rd, W-1 MMA will return to Montreal on November 20th with a card that will include none other than Quebec's own Steve "Lionheart" Vigneault! "The Lionheart" was an early pioneer in the sport of MMA, and if Quebec had a hall of fame for the sport, Steve Vigneault would certainly be a first ballot inductee. He has battled the likes of Sean Pierson, David Loiseau and Patrick Cote in his illustrious career, including an appearance in the UFC against Mike Swick, all while going 12-6 in the process. This will be Vigneault's first fight in just over a year since coming out of retirement to beat Dan Chambers at Ringside MMA - Rivalry in November, 2009.

(For immediate release) September 1, 2010,  Montreal – After 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 13^th 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 2^nd 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.
