Early career

Barriault began competing in amateur mixed martial arts in 2012 under the tutelage of Sifu Patrick Marcil and finished with a record of 4–3. He also competed in FightQuest Amateur Combat in 2014 where he twice challenged for the FightQuest Middleweight Championship as well as the Vacant Hybrid Combat Middleweight Championship.[8] After going professional in 2014 he competed in smaller promotions earning himself an impressive record of 11–1, During this time he managed to capture three championships in two different promotions (TKO Major League MMA, Hybrid Combat).[9] Having previously won both the TKO Middleweight and Light Heavyweight Championships when he was invited to sign with the Ultimate Fighting Championship in 2019.[10]

Barriault was next set to faced Krzysztof Jotko on July 7, 2019, at UFC 240.[13] Barriault lost the fight via split-decision.[14]

Barriault next faced Jun Yong Park on December 21, 2019, at UFC Fight Night 165.[15] He lost the fight via unanimous decision.[16]

On December 4, 2020, the UFC announced that Barriault had accepted a six-month USADA suspension for testing positive in-competition for ostarine by the Nevada State Athlete Commission (NSAC) on June 20, 2020. Furthermore, Barriault's win was overturned to a no contest. After a thorough investigation into Barriault's positive test, including follow-up testing, an evaluation of the circumstances surrounding his positive tests, and finding no evidence of intentional use, USADA gave him a reduced suspension that it was consistent with low-level ostarine cases with evidence of contamination. He was eligible to fight again on January 21, 2021.[19]
