| Next Saturday April 9th at 7:30pm, Ringside MMA, for the first time in its history, is proud to present an event at the prestigious Bell Centre in Montreal: Ringside 10 Côté vs. Starnes. The main event will be a “super fight” between two famous UFC middleweight veterans, Patrick Côtéand Kalib Starnes. Two championship fights will also be part of the evening’s fight card. Canadian Alex “The Animal” Garcia will face WEC veteran Seth Baczynski for the Ringside Middleweight title and current Ringside Featherweight champion Michel “Mitch” Gagnon will have to defend his belt against Drumondville’s own Réjean “GnP” Groulx. Not to be missed will be Victoriaville native Martin “The Stress” Désilet’s fight against Roger “The Hulk” Hollett. The winner will earn the right to challenge for the Light Heavyweight title currently held by the popular Steve Bossé.
This week, Ringside is excited to invite, for the first time, its fans and the media to a public training and autograph session on Wednesday April 6th at the Bell Centre. Beginning at 1pm, this will be the perfect occasion for the media and the fans to meet UFC veteran Patrick Côté (1pm), up and coming star Alex Garcia (1:15pm) and the one and only Martin Désilets (1:30pm).
