Dustin Stoltzfus Just SLEPT Marc-Andre Barriault In Edmonton
Dustin Stoltzfus just put Marc-Andre Barriault to SLEEP in Edmonton - and then hit him a couple more shots for good measure! Canadians are now 5-2 on the night (counting Jasmine Jasudavicius who won as I was writing this blog), so they're still up on the night, but Marc-Andre Barriault is now unfortunately 3-5 in his last 8....
When we did the Spinnin Backfist MMA Show this week, Big Ev brought up how it's only been about four months since MAB was VICIOUSLY KO'd by Joe Pyfer….
….suggesting it was too soon for him to return - and clearly, he was right. As soon as the bout turned into a firefight, Stoltzfus was able to put Barriault's lights out with a wild right hook that silenced the "hometown" crowd.
They still cheered Stoltzfus as he left the building, though, because - you know, Canada. They're too nice to hold that grudge for more than 30 seconds. As long as you're a good sport about it, eh?
You just gotta give yourself at least six months to recover after a bad knockout like that Pyfer one, because otherwise, you're coming back as Glass Joe. We've got some pretty good fights still to come on the main card, headlined by Brandon Moreno vs Amir Albazi, so flip on ESPN+ if you're interested. Thug Rose vs Erin Blanchfield in the co-main too!
P.S. Shoutout to Brendan Fitzgerald for rocking the Ryan Whitney jersey at weigh-ins in Edmonton last night….
