Jonathan Goulet (22-9) will face undefeated welterweight Paul Kelly (7-0) at UFC 85: Bedlam which takes place at the O2 Arena in London, England, on June 7, according to a report from Canada’s TKO Extreme.
Goulet is riding a two-fight winning streak after a recent TKO stoppage of Kuniyoshi Hironaka at UFC 83. Prior to that he choked out Paul Georgieff in the first round at The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale.
Opposing him will be England’s Paul Kelly, who won his UFC debut with a unanimous decision victory over Paul Taylor at UFC 80. Prior to that decision, Kelly has stopped all of his fights - five of them in the first round.
It should be an interesting match-up as Goulet (who does have 11 TKO victories) will try and use his experience to manhandle the younger Kelly (who trains at the Wolfslair Academy).
UFC 85 features the main even between former welterweight champion Matt Hughes and Thiago Alves. Also scheduled to battle are Michael “The Count” Bisping and Chris “The Crippler” Leben.

Wow … talk about a reception for UFC Welterweight Champion, Matt Serra, during the official weigh-in for UFC 83: “Serra vs. St. Pierre 2” this afternoon.
It was a downright hostile crowd at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, which is not surprising considering Serra’s opponent — and hometown star — Georges St. Pierre, as well as his “disparaging” remarks heading into this event.
I just can’t fathom what it’s going to be like tomorrow night when the fight actually takes place.
“If you’re pissed right now, wait until Saturday night,” Serra shouted over the crowd. Something tells me the Mounties should crack out the riot gear just in case that prediction is accurate.
Meanwhile, Michael Bisping and Charles McCarthy head a head-bumping, obscenity-swapping staredown. And there’s clearly no love lost between Jason MacDonald and Joe Doerksen.
Amazing stuff.
At any rate, here are the complete UFC 83 weigh-in results:
170 lbs.: Matt Serra (169.5) vs. Georges St. Pierre (169.5)
185 lbs.: Rich Franklin (185.5) vs. Travis Lutter (185)
185 lbs.: Michael Bisping (185.5) vs. Charles McCarthy (186)
155 lbs.: Mac Danzig (154.5) vs. Mark Bocek (154.5)
185 lbs.: Kalib Starnes (186) vs. Nate Quarry (185.5) — swing bout
185 lbs.: Jason MacDonald (185) vs. Joe Doerksen (184.5)
185 lbs.: Alan Belcher (185) vs. Jason Day (183.5)
185 lbs.: Ed Herman (185.5) vs. Demian Maia (184.5)
155 lbs.: Sam Stout (155.5) vs. Rich Clementi (155)
265 lbs.: Cain Velasquez (235.5) vs. Brad Morris (225.5)
170 lbs.: Jonathan Goulet (169.5) vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka (170)
*Note: Fighters are allowed to weigh one pound more than the division limit in non-title fights.
The televised portion of the pay-per-view (PPV) event begins tomorrow (Saturday, April 19) at 10 p.m. ET. We will provide LIVE blow-by-blow, round-by-round coverage of the main card action at this time.
UFC 83 quick results, however, will begin to flow earlier than that here at MMAmania.com at about 8:00 p.m. ET with the prelim fights.
Tomorrow is going to be insane — it’s going to be absolute pandemonium inside the Bell Centre. Remember to hit us up for all the latest results coverage before, during and after the action.

Jonathan Goulet earned his nickname “The Road Warrior” with wins over Jay Hieron, Luke Cummo and most recently The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 6 alum, Paul Georgieff, inside the Octagon.
However, disappointing losses to Josh Koscheck, Dustin Hazelett and others now has him fighting to get another shot in the UFC.
“The Road Warrior” is preparing for his welterweight tilt against Kuniyoshi Hironaka at UFC 83 in his backyard of Montreal, Quebec.
Let’s call a spade a spade -– for all intents and purposes this fight will not affect the top of the UFC’s welterweight division; however, it will definitely provide some fireworks, according to Goulet:
Here’s a snip:
” … I swear it is going to be exciting to watch. My goal is for sure to win that fight but also to force Zuffa to put my fight on TV – I really want to be broadcast.”
Under new management with Ken Pavia and having inked a new four-fight deal with the UFC, Goulet has a renewed sense of making the UFC his home. He’s not looking past his opponent though.
Another snip:
“I really respect him, he fought some good opponent like Thiago Alves, Jon Fitch and Nick Diaz. He did great, he’s a tough opponent that is going to be a hard fight ….”
Jonathan is training as hard as ever and recently spent a month in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, training with the Gracie Barra Team to improve his ground game.
He’s coming off a win in the Octagon and on April 19 he’s going to have a stadium full of fans hoping he comes out with another one.
I had a chance to catch up with Jonathan. Find out his thoughts on his new manager, Ken “I make dreams come true” Pavia, and what he had to say about calling out Mike Swick back in July of 2007.

With all the UFC 79 interim brouhaha overwhelming the news lately, let’s remember that The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 6 Finale is lined up for next Saturday, December 8 at 9 p.m. for FREE on SpikeTV.
Of course, MMAmania.com plans to provide coverage of the action LIVE from The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada, on fight night of the main card action, as well as provide quick results of the prelim match ups.
Even though there is less than 14 days until showtime the rumored card isn’t even complete. That’s because TUF 6 is still airing and the winners have not been made public.
In the meantime, here is what we can expect:
- Clay Guida (22-8) vs. Roger Huerta (19-1)
- TUF 6 Finalist #1 vs. TUF 6 Finalist #2
- Jared Rollins (5-3) vs. John “War Machine” Koppenhaver (4-1)
- Troy “Rude Boy” Mandaloniz (2-1) vs. Richie Hightower (7-1)
- Roman Mitichyan (3-1) vs. Dorian Price (7-2)
- Paul Georgieff (5-1) vs. Jonathan Goulet (19-9)
There’s a solid line-up of fights thus far scheduled for the event. However, the main event between Guida and Huerta should be explosive. Really can’t wait to check out that lightweight showdown, which more than likely will have significant implications in the 155-pound title picture.
Be sure to stay tuned to MMAmania.com before, during and after the event for all the updates, LIVE coverage and recaps you can handle.
For now hit up the TUF 6 Finale archive or the fight card right here for more information.

With the semifinalists almost set for season six of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), the UFC made four more bouts official for the TUF 6 Finale on December 8 from The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Here are the welterweight match ups:
- Jared Rollins (5-3) vs. John “War Machine” Koppenhaver (4-1)
- Troy “Rude Boy” Mandaloniz (2-1) vs. Richie Hightower (7-1)
- Roman Mitichyan (3-1) vs. Dorian Price (7-2)
- Paul Georgieff (5-1) vs. Jonathan Goulet (19-9)
Interesting (and good) to see Mitichyan on the card — he was sent home on the first episode because of a broken elbow sustained during training. It made for some great television but it also revealed how badly he wanted a chance to compete inside the Octagon.
Now he’s got the opportunity to demonstrate his skills in front of a nationwide television audience on the SpikeTV special.
Surprised to see that Goulet is getting another bite at the UFC apple so soon after yet another loss his last time out against Dustin Hazelett at UFC Fight Night 11 back in September. The “Road Warrior” boasts an underwhelming record (2-3) within the eight-sided cage. He should be the favorite against the relatively inexperienced Georgieff (He got knocked out in the first round by “Rude Boy” in episode five).
For all the latest of TUF 6 and episode recaps check out our archive. There’s also the developing TUF 6 Finale fight card right here.
Remember, lightweights Roger Huerta and Clay Guida will clash during the main event of the evening, and the two remaining finalists will throwdown to see who becomes the next TUF champion. Stay tuned for more updates and fight announcements regarding this upcoming event.
