Gilbert Yvel vs. Josh Barnett. Who wins it?

Underground
1

I think Yvel can win this with a KO as can Barnett. I think Yvel has the edge in stiking. Depends on whether he's training right.

2

Hopefully Yvel.

3

You'd like to think Yvel has a striking edge...but then you see him fold like a chair after Zentsov tagged him.

If Barnett loses this, I'd probably would rank it as the biggest upset since Serra beat GSP.

4

Kai Tremeche - Hopefully Yvel.


...gets beat into retirement?

6

Barnett by sub

7

Such a BS matchup; Barnett has his Cell Phone and Email on ignore when Affliction was trying to set him up with first a fight w/Fedor then Arlovski.

At least Affliction could have gotten Big Tim, Overeem, Pee Wee Herman, Werdum, Kharitonov or even another Cro Cop rematch.

Yvel of course has the puncher's chance but once this fight hits the mat it is all over.

8

Easy match for Barnett, but for a while it won't look easy.

9

 This is a warmup match for Josh. He'll win easy

10

Should be an easy fight for Barnett but Yvel is always an X factor he can KO Barnett forsure plus his ground has got better over the years so hopefully he wont get subbed quick so we can see a good fight.

I agree on the magnitude of the upset, but Barnett was jarred by Nastula. Lightning could strike with Yvel.

12

Yvel has surprised me so much I couldn't count him out, but 90% chance Josh subs him.

13

Hoping for a double KO.

I heard he brought in some refs to beat on to get in the right frame of mind.

Barnett should be able to beat Yvel in his sleep.

Hey that sounds like a good idea, setup a bed in the ring and let Gilbert attack him ....but yea don't think it makes a difference

18

 remember when josh fought a striker named hunt?

19

 If Yvel trains a couple of weeks with Cro-Cop he can submit the babyfat assassin in about 60 seconds.
