Marc-Andre Barriault got another octagon win on home soil at UFC Fight Night 291 when he stopped Kyle Daukaus in the opening round.
Barriault (18-11 MMA, 7-10 UFC) was forced to fend off the grappling advances of Daukaus (17-6 MMA, 4-6 UFC) in in the early stages of the middleweight bout at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, but then he landed some big elbows in the clinch, got top position and swarmed with ground-and-pound until the referee jumped for the TKO at the 4:28 mark of Round 1.
