What they do well

  • Durability

    Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

Where they leak

  • Ground game

    Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • Counter punching

    This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • Fight IQ

    Predictable under stress. When the first look fails, the tape shows the same entry again.

Scouting report

Marc-Andre Barriault “Powerbar” is a 36-year-old Orthodox middleweight out of Canada, camped at Kill Cliff FC. The tape read: volume pressure striker. Career mark 17-11-0 — 0 by KO/TKO, 1 by submission, 16 by decision. Fight IQ grades C (51).

What works. Durability is the standout at 85 (A). Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win. Ground game D on 0.34 TD/15 and 0.09 sub attempts. Striking defense B at 57% / 2.62 SApM. Counter punching D; punching agility C+ (output × accuracy × age curve). Takedown reaction C+ on 84% TD defense. These are tape proxies — not lab reaction times — built from FightMetric rates, finish shares, and 0 loaded UFC rows.

Where it breaks. Ground game is the soft spot (21, D). Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain. Opponents who force wrestling and keep the fight on the fence have historically been the ones who make this résumé leak. Losses lean decision more often than a highlight — the issue is usually control of minutes, not a glass jaw.

The book has no per-fight UFC rows for Barriault yet. This scouting card is carried by career FightMetric rates and the win-method split — treat the reaction and agility marks as wider intervals.

Ground game

21 D

Thin offensive ground game. Wins come standing; once taken down this fighter is hunting a stand-up, not a sweep chain.

  • 0.34 takedowns / 15 at 29% accuracy

70 B

Serviceable pocket defense. Can be found, but rarely walks into the same shot twice.

  • 57% striking defense · 2.62 SApM
  • 0 KO/TKO losses in 11 defeats

Counter punching

36 D

This is a first-strike, pressure profile more than a counter. Wins come from owning the center, not waiting.

  • 0.29 knockdowns / 15 · 0 KO/TKO wins

Timing & reaction

Late on the read. High absorb or a leaking TD defense suggests the first move often belongs to the opponent.

  • Str def 57% · TD def 84% — the two read-and-react rates
  • 2.62 shots absorbed / min (lower = sees it earlier)

Punching agility

60 C+

Heavy or economical. Combinations are chosen, not sprayed — opponents can time the entries.

  • 5.65 SLpM at 50% — output with cleanliness
  • Throws without paying full retail: 2.62 SApM

Takedown reaction

66 C+

Hips arrive late. A committed wrestler will get them down; the question is what happens next.

  • 1 submission losses (once the fight hits the mat)

Durability

85 A

Gets through fire. Rarely finished by strikes; the later minutes are still theirs to win.

  • 0 times finished by strikes in 11 losses
  • 16 decision wins — proof they last and still score
