MMAWeekly is reporting that Jonathan “The Road Warrior” Goulet has pulled out of his upcoming bout with Paul Kelly at UFC 85: Bedlam in London, England.

TKO Xtreme has confirmed that Goulet pulled out of the bout at the request of his new team, Tristar Gym. According to Goulet, The Tristar Gym requested that Goulet withdraw from the bout due to the short time frame given to prepare for the June 7 bout.

Thus far Goulet has spent the majority of his time training at Team Legion in Victoriaville, Quebec. Moving to the Tristar Gym will allow Goulet to train with the likes of Georges St. Pierre, David Loiseau, Ivan Menjivar, Stephane Vigneault and Thierry Quenneville on a daily basis.

According to the MMAWeekly report, Goulet will also be training at J Sport Core Fitness Professionals in Montreal. J Sport Core Fitness is the home of Jonathan Chaimberg, Goulet’s new strength and conditioning coach.
