Keith Wisniewski vs. Chris Clements slated for UFC 145 in Montreal

A welterweight bout between Keith Wisniewski (28-13-1 MMA, 0-2 UFC) and promotional newcomer Chris Clements (10-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is slated for March's UFC 145 event.

UFC officials recently confirmed the matchup.

UFC 145, which is the first Canadian show of the year, takes place March 24 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec.

The night's main card airs on pay-per-view, and the preliminary card, including Wisniewski vs. Clements, airs on FX.

Wisniewski gets a third shot at a first UFC win. The Indiana-based fighter suffered a decision loss to Nick Thompson at UFC 56 back in 2005, which kicked off a five-fight losing streak. However, the 30-year-old rebounded with six consecutive victories that earned him a ticket back into the UFC. However, in October at UFC on Versus 6, he suffered a TKO defeat to veteran Josh Neer.

He now takes on Clements, a Canadian fighter and onetime IFL competitor who's won four straight fights (all via knockout). Two of the wins came over notables and former UFC fighter Jonathan Goulet and Rich Clementi. The 35-year-old fighter, who trained under the late Shawn Tompkins, has won all 10 of his career bouts via knockout.
