Quebec fighter Marc-Andre Barriault has stuck to the 185-pound limit for his upcoming fight Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 200 in Las Vegas.
“Power Bar,” who will face American Chidi Njokuani, posted a weight of 184.5 pounds.
This will be Barriault’s (13-4) first outing since his unanimous decision win over Dalcha Lungiambula at UFC Fight Night 191 last September in Las Vegas.
The Quebecer had then recorded a second win in a row, after a series of three defeats and a dismissal (after a positive anti-doping result with ostarine) in his UFC debut in 2019.
“I would like to get closer top 15 world by the end of the year, said Barriault in an interview with the daily The right. It would allow me to have the big end of the stick when it comes time to discuss potential opponents.
Njokuani (20-7) is a veteran of the mixed martial arts scene, but will only be making his second appearance in the UFC universe. He beat Mario Filipe de Sousa at Dana White’s Contender Series last September.
“He’s a guy who has rolled his bump and who will bring out the best in me, analyzed Barriault.
“He’s going to want to move around and keep me at bay. It will be up to me not to embark on his dance steps, not to let myself fall asleep. I will be turned on from the start and put pressure on non-stop. »
UFC Fight Night 200 will feature middleweights Jack Hermansson and Sean Strickland.
