fuck yeah. Considering they let Mike Kyle fight again i was pretty sure Yvel would get liscensed. I expect a Barnett win, but if he chooses to stand with Yvel it could be an exciting explosive fight. And if somehow Yvel won, fuck it, why not let him fight Fedor.

Can anybody believe this though? Gilbert Yvel, fighitng Josh Barnett, in a number 1 contenders fight.
Both of them are more deserving than Mir or Lesnar...and they're fighting for #1 contender in a second event org only a year old. Mir and Lesnar are Champion, and #1 contender in the biggest org in the world. *laugh*

But matchup wise, I've got Lesnar over Yvel, Josh, and AA, and I think a Lesnar/Fedor would be a great fight. To hell with his record, he just oozes potential.

Mir, however, doesn't. He is a great commentator though.

nope! guess it doesn't matter though because barnett is gona twist a limb off! i guess their just giving barnett a fight like this to build up a future fight with the winner of arlovski/fedor.

question? how does a known loose cannon like yvel get cleared by the csac and aleks dosen't?
