| Goulet-Hironaka added to UFC 84 in Canada Quote: Jonathan Goulet vs. Kuniyoshi Hironaka at UFC 84
Posted by MMA Junkie on January 19, 2008 at 8:49 pm ET
Jonathan GouletWe now have confirmation of another Canadian fighter that’s been booked for the UFC’s first-ever show in Canada: Jonathan Goulet (21-9 MMA, 3-3 UFC).
The veteran fighter will take on Kuniyoshi Hironaka (11-4 MMA, 1-2 UFC) at UFC 84, which is set for April 19 at Montreal’s Bell Centre. Our Canadian friends at TKO Xtreme first broke news of the bout earlier today, and MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) was able to confirm Goulet’s booking with a source close to the fighter.
The upcoming event, which will be officially announced at a Feb. 4 press conference in Montreal, features a main event between UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra and interim champ Georges St. Pierre.
Goulet, who hails from Quebec, most recently defeated Paul Georgieff at The Ultimate Fighter 6 Finale. The performance earned Goulet a new four-fight deal with the UFC.
The 28-year-old is a veteran of the Canadian fight scene, where he’s competed primarily in the popular TKO organization.
Hironaka, a 31-year-old Shooto vet, made his octagon debut at UFC 64 with a unanimous-decision loss to Jon Fitch. He then scored a decision victory over Forrest Petz in April before dropping a second-round TKO to Thiago Alves at UFC Fight Night 11.

Never been a Goulet fan but he's at least a fairly exciting fighter to watch - he either finishes the fight or gets finished.

Hironaka wins this fight easily, he's better in every aspect then Goulet is.
