Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis returns to the Octagon in May at UFC 113 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, as he takes on Canada’s own Jonathan “The Road Warrior” Goulet.

UFC 113 is expected to take place on May 8th 2010 at the Bell Centre in Montreal. The event marks the third consecutive year the UFC has visited the venue, and UFC 113 is expected to be the first of two shows the promotion hosts in Canada in 2010.

Davis looks to snap a recent two-fight slide. “The Irish Hand Grenade” was knocked out for the first time in his career at this past November’s UFC 106 event courtesy of a series of powerful knee strikes by Ben Saunders. Prior to the loss, Davis had dropped a razor-thin split decision to current welterweight title challenger Dan Hardy.

Prior to the skid, “The Ultimate Fighter” vet had won 13 of his past 14 contests.

Meanwhile, Goulet returns to action for the first time since a devastating, 33-second loss to Mike Swick in December 2008. “The Road Warrior” has been expected to compete at this past July’s UFC 100 event, but an injury suffered in training forced him to withdraw from the event.

Prior to the loss to Swick, Goulet had been riding a three-fight win streak that included a pair of victories in the UFC over Kuniyoshi Hironaka and Paul Georgieff.
