UFC EXPERIENCE: 1-1. Beat UFC veteran Jay Heiron via cut stoppage at Ultimate Fight Night 2, but was stopped by Duane Ludwig (Pictures) in just 11 seconds at Ultimate Fight Night 3.
WHAT HE BRINGS TO THE BOUT: Good striking. He’s stopped opponents
with knees, punches, kicks and even slammed them unconscious. He
also brings a balanced attack. Goulet will happily settle it on the
feet but he has submitted plenty of guys over his career including
two of his last five opponents.
