First of all Gilbert Yvel should not be fighting at all when you consider his professional fight history. I just watched the video where he knocked a referee silly, and granted that it was funny, it should never have happened. You can't yourself a professional fighter and pull off stunts like that. I hope Josh Barnett teaches him a lesson in MMA and Yvel never sees the inside of a ring or octagon again. As for the main event, if I were a betting man, I would put down money on Andrei Arlovski to pull off the biggest upset of the year against Fedor Emelianenko. Check out my review of the fight at Fedor v Arlovski

Yvel is a pos and I won’t support any show/product that he is associated with.

Yeah he seemed like far less of a tool than I anticipated when he was on InsideMMA, but I’m still hoping he goes down.

Barnett subs him out in round 1

Was amazing to see what a humble and nice guy he was on Inside MMA. He definitely undergoes a metamorphosis when he steps into the ring. Josh obviously just needs to take him to the ground and it’ll be over. Josh is a showman though so who knows what he’ll do.
