Barriault's durability and cardio give him a distinct advantage as the fight progresses. While Stoltzfus has shown flashes of brilliance, his 2-5 UFC record suggests he struggles to maintain consistency at the highest level. Barriault's recent training focus on improving his takedown defense should neutralize Stoltzfus' grappling threats, allowing him to dictate the terms of engagement on the feet. The hometown crowd's energy will undoubtedly fuel Barriault's performance, potentially leading to a late stoppage or a dominant decision victory. Expect Barriault to utilize his superior striking and pressure to wear down Stoltzfus, capitalizing on any openings to secure a much-needed win and reignite his UFC career.

Dustin Stoltzfus is looking to get back on track against Marc-Andre Barriault at UFC Edmonton this weekend, showcasing his grappling prowess and resilience. Despite his 2-5 UFC record, Stoltzfus has consistently demonstrated his ability to engage in exciting, high-paced fights, often pushing his opponents to their limits. His submission skills and ground control could prove problematic for Barriault, who has shown vulnerability to strong grapplers in the past. Stoltzfus' recent performances, although resulting in losses, have displayed significant improvements in his striking and overall fight IQ, suggesting he's primed for a breakthrough performance.

Barriault enters this bout on a two-fight losing streak, potentially affecting his confidence. Stoltzfus' ability to weather early storms and maintain his composure in high-pressure situations could be crucial as the fight progresses. His experience training with high-level partners at Sanford MMA has likely sharpened his skills and prepared him for the challenges Barriault presents. Expect Stoltzfus to employ a strategic approach, mixing striking with well-timed takedown attempts to keep Barriault guessing. If Stoltzfus can successfully implement his grappling game and avoid Barriault's power shots, he has a strong chance of securing a submission victory or grinding out a hard-fought decision win, potentially reigniting his UFC career and silencing doubters.

Final Marc-Andre Barriault-Dustin Stoltzfus Prediction & Pick

Barriault's home-field advantage and improved striking will be pitted against Stoltzfus' grappling skills and resilience. The key to victory likely lies in who can impose their preferred fighting style. If Barriault can keep the fight standing and utilize his pressure and volume striking, he could wear down Stoltzfus.
