UFC Fight Night 246 video: Dustin Stoltzfus sleeps Marc-Andre Barriault with hellacious punch

Dustin Stoltzfus threw caution to the wind at UFC Edmonton, then sent Marc-Andre Barriault crashing unconscious.

[autotag]Dustin Stoltzfus[/autotag] threw caution to the wind and [autotag]Marc-Andre Barriault[/autotag]’s consciousness went with it.

On the UFC Fight Night 246 main card Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Stoltzfus (16-6 MMA, 3-5 UFC) notched a violent knockout of Barriault (16-9 MMA, 5-8 UFC) at 4:28 of Round 1.

The finishing sequence started and ended in a dirty boxing clinch. Barriault seemed to be the aggressor, eagerly engaging Stoltzfus in the position. Stoltzfus obliged him, and a massive right hand smoked Barriault unconscious.

Barriault flopped to the canvas and absorbed two more massive shots, much to the dismay of his home country crowd.

The victory reentered Stoltzus into the win column and moved him to 3-3 in his most recent six outings, alternating results throughout. Saturday’s win was the third knockout victory of his career.

Barriault falls into a three-fight skid with the loss. It marked the third knockout/TKO loss of his career.

Marc-Andre Barriault and Dustin Stoltzfus both need wins. Which middleweight will get back on track at UFC Fight Night 246?

Last event: 1-4
UFC main cards, 2024: 90-85-3

Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Dustin Stoltzfus UFC Fight Night 246 preview

Barriault (16-8 MMA, 5-7 UFC) will look to get back on the winning track after dropping his last two outings. Prior to a split decision loss against Chris Curtis and a first-round finish by Joe Pyfer, Barriault won back-to-back fights against Julian Marquez and Eryk Anders. … Stoltzfus (15-6 MMA, 2-5 UFC) will also look to return to the win column in Edmonton. The Pennsylvania native struggled to gain momentum since joining the UFC in 2020, only recording two wins in seven appearances.

Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Dustin Stoltzfus UFC Fight Night 246 expert pick, prediction

God forbid we have a main card without a middleweight fight on it, as Barriault vs. Stoltzfus appears to be the bout to scratch the UFC matchmaker’s itch this week.

Barriault, to his credit, is a fairly dependable action fighter whose durability and output tend to bring out the dog in his opposition. Stoltzfus, on the other hand, is a hit-or-miss overachiever who continues to make efforts to improve each time out.

I believe Stoltzfus will have an edge if this hits the floor, but I’m not sure his wrestling is reliable enough to get in there.

Add in the fact that Stoltzfus is making a fast turnaround on what was a vicious knockout loss last June, and I can’t help but side with Barriault in this spot.

This fight probably goes to a decision more often than not, but I’ll take Barriault to force a stoppage via strikes by Round 3.

UFC Fight Night 246: Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Dustin Stoltzfus odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s UFC Fight Night 246 odds between Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Dustin Stoltzfus, with MMA picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

In a 3-round middleweight bout on the main card, Marc-Andre Barriault and Dustin Stoltzfus meet Saturday at UFC Fight Night 246 – also known as UFC on ESPN+ 104 – at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s UFC odds around the UFC Fight Night 246: Barriault vs. Stoltzfus odds, and make our expert picks and predictions.

The prelims begin at 5 p.m. ET on ESPN+, and the main card begins at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN+.

Records: Barriault (16-8-0) | Stoltzfus (15-6-0)

The Canadian Barriault fights in his native country looking to snap a 2-bout skid. He suffered a first-round KO/TKO last time out against Joe Pyfer at UFC 303 last time out in late June. Before that, he suffered a split-decision loss against Chris Curtis at UFC 297. His most recent win was against Eryk Anders on UFC 289 in a unanimous-decision victory.

For Stoltzfus, he was knocked out at the end of Round 1 against Brunno Ferreira in early June, and he is just 2-5 in his past 7 fights. He has tapped out twice, while losing via KO/TKO twice, and once via unanimous decision.

Stoltzfus holds a 1-inch reach advantage, although Barriault is well ahead with a 6.12-to-3.51 significant strikes landed per minute advantage. Stoltzfus is slightly more accurate at 56.61%, and he is well ahead in takedown average at 2.45-to-0.21. As such, Barriault will want to avoid going to the mat, where Stoltzfus has a 1.02 submission average.

  • Fight result (2-way line): Barriault -200 (bet $200 to win $100) | Stoltzfus +165 (bet $100 to win $165)
  • Total Rounds: 2.5 Rounds (Over -145 | Under +110)
  • Will the fight go the distance? (Yes -110 | No -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

UFC Fight Night 246: Barriault vs. Stoltzfus picks and predictions

Fight result (2-way line or moneyline)

Barriault (-200) will set you back 2 times your potential return if you were to play him straight up on the 2-way line. That’s too expensive straight up, so let’s get specific.

Barriault will be trying to stay upright, as Stoltzfus (+165) is at his best on the mat, and that’s where he could get the job done against the Canadian fighter.

The favorite will likely be very careful, and this could be a fight where the crowd gets a little impatient with the slow pace. BARRIAULT BY DECISION/TECHNICAL DECISION (+150) is the best way to go.

Over/Under (O/U)

YES (-110): FIGHT TO GO THE DISTANCE? is a safe play, especially if you want a little action on the fight, and you don’t necessarily want to declare a winner.

Barriault has gone the distance in 2 of the past 3 fights, but be careful. Stoltzfus hasn’t gone the distance since July 16, 2022 against Dwight Grant, finishing inside the distance in each of his past 3 bouts.

UFC 303 results: Joe Pyfer sleeps Marc-Andre Barriault with brutal knockout punches

Joe Pyfer ripped through UFC 303 opponent Marc-Andre Barriault with an 85-second knockout.

[autotag]Joe Pyfer[/autotag] punched his way back into the win column in brutal fashion at UFC 303.

In the featured prelim, Pyfer (13-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) bashed [autotag]Marc-Andre Barriault[/autotag] (16-8 MMA, 5-7 UFC) with a series of brutal punches that left the Canadian unconscious on the canvas at 1:25 of Round 1. The middleweight bout took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Pyfer, 27, became the poster boy for Dana White’s Contender Series for a violent finish in 2022 that fired up Dana White and led to the UFC CEO’s “Be Joe Pyfer” speech. After four finish wins, Pyfer headlined in February vs. Jack Hermansson and lost a unanimous decision.

Barriault, 34, has lost back-to-back fights. In January, Barriault lost a split decision to Chris Curtis. The defeat was the second time he’s been finished with strikes in his pro career.

Marc-Andre Barriault expects power struggle with Joe Pyfer at UFC 303

“I don’t have any fear to taste his power,” Marc-Andre Barriault said of Joe Pyfer ahead of UFC 303.

LAS VEGAS – [autotag]Joe Pyfer[/autotag] was always on [autotag]Marc-Andre Barriault[/autotag]’s radar before UFC 303.

Barriault (16-7 MMA, 5-6 UFC) takes on Pyfer (12-3 MMA, 3-1 UFC) in Saturday’s UFC 303 (pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+) featured prelim at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

With Pyfer’s career trajectory and hype behind him through Dana White’s Contender Series, Barriault is not surprised that he was matched up with him. Both fighters are coming off losses to ranked opposition.

“I knew at one point – I was looking at him since the Contender Series,” Barriault told MMA Junkie and other reporters at a pre-fight news conference Wednesday. “He did great on the Contender. He did great in his first three fights. He had a big test, just like me, top-15 guy his last fight. So, at one point I was like, ‘OK, maybe we’re going to cross paths, and yeah, it’s going to happen this Saturday.”

Pyfer shared video proof of him breaking Francis Ngannou’s punch machine record, but Barriault is happy to find out about his power on fight night.

“I don’t have any fear to taste his power, but one thing for sure: I can deliver power too,” Barriault said. “Sooner or later he’s going to taste my power. He’s going to know why they call me ‘Power Bar,’ and I think I’m just going to be  on him and just do my thing. For sure it’s going to be a hell of a fight.”
