The ups and downs of the fight game can be seen every week, on every card, and in the ebb and flow of results for the men and women that make the walk to the Octagon seemingly every Saturday.
As Marc-Andre Barriault readies to make his third appearance of the year this weekend in Edmonton opposite Dustin Stoltzfus, the French-Canadian veteran is in the midst of a two-year rollercoaster ride.
“With all my ups and downs in my career, to be back here in Edmonton, in Canada, I feel blessed that the UFC always thinks of me when it’s time to build a nice card,” Barriault said on Tuesday morning, brimming with energy as he looks to snap a two-fight skid on Saturday.
