Four Canadian fighters added to UFC Edmonton lineup

Marc-Andre Barriault (17-11) will have the home crowd behind him when he takes on Kyle Daukaus (17-5) in a middleweight matchup at UFC Edmonton. Barriault has endured a turbulent UFC tenure, going 6-10 (1 NC). He has won only once in his last six outings and is currently on a two-fight losing streak.

Meanwhile, Daukaus made an impressive comeback to begin his second UFC stint after being released in 2022. The American finished both of his UFC opponents last year but suffered a first-round stoppage loss to Bo Nickal in June at UFC Freedom 250.

Canada’s Tanner Boser (22-11-1) will take on Jhonata Diniz (9-2) in a heavyweight clash at UFC Edmonton. After fighting out his UFC contract in 2023, Boser competed once for UAE Warriors before returning to the promotion. He suffered a stoppage loss to Gokhan Saricam in his return in April. Diniz is 3-2 inside the Octagon since winning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series.

Jamey-Lyn Horth (9-3) will take on Katlyn Cerminara (18-6) in a women’s flyweight bout. Horth is 2-2 in her last four fights and is coming off a loss to J.J. Aldrich. Cerminara is on a two-fight losing streak and hasn’t fought in more than two years.

Melissa Croden (8-3) will trade leather with Chelsea Chandler (7-4) in a women’s bantamweight bout. Croden is 2-1 in the UFC and is coming off a win over Darya Zheleznyakova in April. Chandler is coming off a submission win over Priscila Cachoeira, which ended a two-fight losing streak.
