This is the UFC Abu Dhabi live blog for Shara Bullet vs. Marc-Andre Barriault, the main card middleweight bout Saturday at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi.
Shara Magomedov (15-1) looks to rebound from his first loss, a humbling decision setback against veteran Michael “Venom” Page. “Bullet” had won his first four UFC fights before being stifled by Page and now seeks to make an example of Barriault as he restarts his climb to a title shot.
Canada’s Barriault (17-9, 1 NC) picked up a much needed win in his
most recent outing with a first-round knockout of Bruno Silva. The highlight snapped a three-fight skid for Barriault, who owns a 6-8 record with one no-contest inside the octagon. Despite mixed results, Barriault has proven to be a tough out throughout his career, with notable wins over Silva, Eryk Anders, and Julian Marquez.
