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]
