Welcome to the live blog of UFC 289 featuring the middleweight showdown between Marc-Andre Barriault and Eryk Anders. This exciting bout serves as the main card opener in Vancouver on Saturday.
Marc-Andre Barriault joined the UFC in 2019 and faced early challenges that almost jeopardized his career. Initially, he suffered three consecutive losses and had one bout overturned due to a failed drug test. Many expected him to be released from the promotion, but “Power Bar” was given another opportunity. Since then, he has capitalized on it, winning four out of his last six fights. Barriault now aims to secure another victory in front of his fellow Canadians.
Eryk Anders, a former University of Alabama football player, made his UFC debut in 2017 and has become a familiar face in the middleweight division. Despite his longevity, Anders has struggled to gain significant momentum in the promotion, accumulating a record of 7 wins, 7 losses, and 1 No-Contest. Following a decisive victory over Kyle Daukaus in December, Anders seeks to kick-start a winning streak that could propel him into the top 15 rankings.
Stay tuned for live updates and commentary on the middleweight clash between Marc-Andre Barriault and Eryk Anders in the UFC 289 main card.
