Quebec's Marc-Andre Barriault uses dominant third round to get UFC 260 win

The fight was Barriault's first following a six-month ban for a doping violation that dated back to last summer. Azaitar was also coming off a seven-month drug suspension.

The UFC 260 main event at the UFC's Apex production facility pitted heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic against No. 1 contender Francis Ngannou. Miocic, a Cleveland firefighter when he's not cage-fighting, won by unanimous decision when they met at UFC 220 in January 2018. The smaller Azaitar, surviving an inadvertent shot to the groin early, was busier in the first round, landing some good knees and kicks.

Canadian strawweight Randa Markos was also slated to fight on the card but had to withdraw after contracting COVID-19. Her bout with Brazil's Luana Pinheiro has been shifted to May 1 on a card headlined by light-heavyweights Dominick Reyes and Jiri Prochazka of the Czech Republic.
