DON’T FORGET TO TALK ABOUT OUR CONTEST “PREDICT THE WINNER”. A FEW HUNDREDS DOLLARS IN PRIZE!

September 9, 2010, Montreal – RINGSIDE MMA is proud to announce the addition of 2 action packed fights to Ringside 9: Payback, which will take place on November 13th, at the Centre Pierre-Charbonneau in Montreal. No less than 9 fights have been scheduled, including the main event welterweight title fight between UFC veteran Jonathan “The Road Warrior” Goulet against Chris “The Menace” Clements!

Joining the action will be Victoriaville native Kevin Morin (3-3-0). A member of Team Legion under head trainer Steve Claveau, Morin is coming off 2 straight losses, the first at the hands of long time rival Christopher Boisvert, while the last fight was by TKO against Jesse Gross. Many are still talking about his spectacular performance in his grudge match against Boisvert which went to a hard fought judge’s decision. In his opponent, Jason Saggo (2-0-0), Morin will face a fighter, born in Bolton, Ontario, who now trains out of Montreal under Kru Ashraf Alabouff from the highly respected Grant Brother’s Boxing. His 2 wins in his 2 professional fights have been come by way of submission, including a victory by rear naked choke against David Lafond at Ringside: Invasion in Quebec City in August. Now with a strong emphasis on Muay Thai during his training camp, who knows what surprises will be brought with him into battle. One this is for certain, this fight is sure to keep fight fans at the edge of their seats not knowing what could happen next!

For his part, Derek Gauthier (6-2-0) is coming off a loss which saw him lose consciousness for several seconds after being the victim of a devastating knock out by veteran Dustin Poirier in Poirier’s first match for Ringside this past June 18th. Thirsty for victory, Gauthier’s hunger will not be satiated until he is victorious after Iraj “Cold Blooded” Hadin (4-3-0). Hadin, who has been inactive since August, 2009, after losses to notable veterans Sean Pierson and John “The Bull” Makdessi, would love to make a statement in his return by not only getting back into the win column, but they beating a teammate of the last fighter who beat him, Makdessi.

Ringside MMA would also like to announce that it has come to a 1 year – 3 fights agreement with BTT Canada product Samuel Guillet (9-5). A native of Quebec, Guillet holds wins over the likes of Tyler Jackson, Jordan Mein, Kurt Southern and Jason Rorison, and has faced notables such as Jay Estrada, Mark Hominick, Luck Caudillo and Kajan Johnson. He is a welcome addition to the Ringside roster, being a fan favourite who leaves it all in the octagon. While he will not be on the yet untitled Ringside card scheduled for November 13th, fans will be able to see this well rounded veteran compete in early 2011.
