UFC 303 results: Joe Pyfer sleeps Marc-Andre Barriault with brutal knockout punches

Joe Pyfer punched his way back into the win column in brutal fashion at UFC 303.

In the featured prelim, Pyfer (13-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) bashed Marc-Andre Barriault (16-8 MMA, 5-7 UFC) with a series of brutal punches that left the Canadian unconscious on the canvas at 1:25 of Round 1. The middleweight bout took place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Pyfer, 27, became the poster boy for Dana White’s Contender Series for a violent finish in 2022 that fired up Dana White and led to the UFC CEO’s “Be Joe Pyfer” speech. After four finish wins, Pyfer headlined in February vs. Jack Hermansson and lost a unanimous decision.

Barriault, 34, has lost back-to-back fights. In January, Barriault lost a split decision to Chris Curtis. The defeat was the second time he’s been finished with strikes in his pro career.
