Jonathan Goulet (born July 13, 1979) is a French Canadian mixed martial artist. He has most recently fought as a welterweight for the Ultimate Fighting Championship, where he made his successful debut at Ultimate Fight Night 2, defeating Jay Hieron by technical knockout.
Mixed martial arts career
Goulet is often touted by the UFC as being the #2 ranked Welterweight fighter in Canada, behind the former TKO Welterweight Champion and current UFC Welterweight Champion, Georges St-Pierre. Goulet is undefeated in the Quebec-based organization TKO, holding an unblemished record of 9 wins, 0 losses within the company.[1]
Taking a 13-5 MMA record to the UFC, Goulet was successful in his debut, earning a TKO victory over Jay Hieron. His second UFC fight, however, didn't go his way. He was knocked out in a record :11 seconds by Duane Ludwig. Goulet rebounded and came back to win a majority decision over The Ultimate Fighter 2 fan favourite, Luke Cummo, at Ultimate Fight Night 5. Goulet was then submitted due to strikes by Josh Koscheck at UFC Fight Night 6 and was submitted by Dustin Hazelett at UFC Fight Night 11. Goulet then put together back to back wins in the UFC, first submitting Paul Georgieff in December 2007, and then winning via TKO over Kuniyoshi Hironaka and UFC 83. Goulet fought at UFC: Fight For The Troops, taking on Mike Swick, where he lost via KO in the first round. Most recently, Goulet took on Marcus Davis at UFC 113 in Montreal, and lost in the second round via TKO. He was released from the organization after his loss to Davis along with Paul Daley and Kimbo Slice[2].
Goulet earned his nickname, "The Road Warrior," after taking a fight on very short notice, traveling to the fight venue without his trainers or cornermen.[3] He is noted for his ever-changing hair colors and using his hair to advertise sponsors [4].
Goulet recently fought Canadian prospect, Matt MacGrath at Ringside MMA 8: Invasion in Quebec on August 7, 2010. Goulet defeated MacGrath at 1:39 of the first round by TKO(punches).[5]
Goulet faced Chris Clements on November 13, 2010 in Montreal, Quebec, for the Ringside MMA welterweight championship. Goulet lost the fight via KO due to punches in the second round. After this fight, Goulet announced his retirement from MMA.[6]
Personal life
Goulet has a daughter.[7]
