[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.
