Fri, 22 May 2009 13:22:36 +0000 http://mmaopinion.com/?p=2915#comment-6584 Yea Yvel got mounted and pounded on for almost the full 3 rounds before it was stopped from punches but he hung in there for that long underneath arguably one of the best ground fighters in the heavyweight division. However he didn't just lay there and cover up the whole time he was finding openings to throw punches back at Barnett from the bottom. I just had such a terrible opinion of Yvel going into that fight that I came away impressed. So I'm looking forward to seeing him against someone that I actually think he has a good shot at beating in Tim Sylvia.

Thu, 21 May 2009 22:40:10 +0000 http://mmaopinion.com/?p=2915#comment-6569 The Fedor/Barnett fight has been being talked about enough for me so I'm going to talk about the other possible fights you mentioned. I like the Belfort/Mousasi match-up. I think that will be a good fight. Not even joking about this. Honestly the most intriguing fight to me would be the Gilbert Yvel vs. Tim Sylvia fight. I was happy before with the rumors of a Buentello/Sylvia fight but a Yvel/Sylvia fight is even more exciting to me. I had a certain preconceived notion on who Yvel was by his actions in previous fights but with that fight against Barnett he changed my mind a little bit. I came away with some respect for him. I am looking forward to seeing him fight again. The Fedor/Barnett fight has been being talked about enough for me so I’m going to talk about the other possible fights you mentioned.

Barnett thinks his skills give him a legit shot at stopping Fedor and Fedor wants to fight the best. Should make for a great fight.
