UPDATE: Ringside MMA 9 - Payback card
The fight card for Ringside MMA's 9th Gala, titled "Payback" has been released by matchmaker Joey Benoit (to members of the Ringside MMA's Facebook group). While there had been rumours that Alex Garcia vs TNT Tyler Jackson would be for the Welterweight title, UFC veteran Jonathan "Road Warrior" Goulet will in fact have the honor of potentially becoming the promotion's first 170 pound champion. Goulet is undefeated in his only match so far for Ringside MMA, as is his opponent, Chris Clements, who made short work of Mark Blackburn in Chris' single appearance at Ringside. Clements is a very dangerous opponent for Goulet. Not only is Clements a member of Team Tompkins stable of fighters (with the likes of Hominick, Stout, and Horodecki), but he has superior striking skills. You can expect Goulet's suspect chin to be put to the test against this fierce striker.
UPDATE: Had a conversation with Joey Benoit, Matchmaker for Ringside MMA. He wanted to make sure that the rumours surrounding the young MMA phenom Alex Garcia were cleared immediately. As per Mr. Benoit, the match between Alex Garcia and "TNT" Tyler Jackson had been set up as a 3 round, non championship fight. Ringside MMA has big hopes for Alex Garcia, since a win by Garcia, combined with a loss by Zahabi MMA teammate Jonathan Goulet, would immediately vault Garcia into the number 1 contender for the Welterweight title. In my opinion, this adds a great new storyline to what will already be an exciting night of fights.
Fight Card as of now:
Chris Clements vs Jonathan Goulet* For the Welterweight title
Tyler Jackson vs Alex Garcia
Lenny Wheeler vs Christopher Boisvert
TBA vs Derek Gauthier
Stephane Bernadel vs Rejean Groulx
Tommy Côté vs Maxime Fecteau
