I read on fightsport.com that Gilbert Yvel is fighting Ikohisa Minowa in Bushido. If it's true, who do you take?
Its true.
Yvel by KO...unfortunately.
It will probably be fun to watch, and who knows Minowa could pull out a sub, but this matchup makes little sense to me.
If Horn couldn't tap Yvel years ago when Gilbert hardly trained ground, Minowa won't sub him now since he's been training a lot of ground.
As far as fighters not living up to their potential..Yvel is the champ.
His standup is unorthodox and wicked.
He still could be great...if he commits to a shrink.
At 63 230 compared to Minowas 59 190....give me a break.
Gilbert has fought some great fighters and has real talent...he is just a headcase.
He may be a complet jerkoff, but Yvel is very dangerous. His highlight reel is awsome to say the least.....It's just hard to respect a guy like him.
GILBERT F*CKING YVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I see Gilbert making a greta return to the Pride ring with a brutal KO of that lil boy Minowa!
gotta go with the crazy dutchman!!!! by flying knee
jrobertson is correct, he shouldn't be allowed to fight again, anywhere, ever.
I would like to get a shirt of Gilbert's if anyone knows where to get one?All of the BJJ guys hate on him because he does what a smart streetfighter would do in a real fight.He fights no rules style.
