Undefeated British fighter Paul Kelly (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has agreed to meet Jonathan Goulet (22-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC) at UFC 85, an event that takes place June 7 at the 02 Arena in London, England.

The preliminary bout was first reported by the Canadian site TKO Xtreme earlier today and has since been confirmed by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) with sources close to both fighters.

At one time, Kelly had been rumored to be fighting "The Ultimate Fighter 6" cast member Troy Mandaloniz at the pay-per-view event.

Instead, he faces Goulet, who posted a victory over Kuniyoshi Hironaka less than two weeks ago at UFC 83. It was Goulet's third straight victory, which has included other wins over Dan Chambers and Paul Georgieff.

Kelly, part of the famed Wolfslair Academy (which boasts "The Ultimate Fighter 3" winner Michael Bisping as a team member), will go for his eighth straight victory. Six of his seven career victories have come via stoppage -- five in the first round.
