I don’t like the matchup. I’d rather see Barnet fight Aleksander Emelianenko, but if that’s not possible, why choose Yvel? No disrespect to him, but as other said, I think it’s honestly a waste of talent.

Well WEC won’t be on the same night, it’ll be on the following night but your point still stands.

it doesnt matter who affliction bans together with they will never bring down the ufc….ya affliction can pay fighters but they dont have the marketability that the ufc does……Its kinda like how lebron james is gonna eventually leave the cavs for new york, not because he needs more money but because new york has more marketability for a player his caliber than cleveland does…..but back to a real sport(I hate the nba, love basketball hate nba)…Ya justin Im from ohio so im a blue jacket…Its kinda sad and hurts a little when i say that because columbus just sucks..but any ways dont expect affliction to be around much longer…..donald trump/oscar de lay hoya will both be off the band wagon once they see that day of reckoning wont even get half the ppv buys that affliction banned did!…..and wec being on that night will hurt it even more…..varner vs cerrone!

I don’t think Rogers was ready for Barnett, I think this will be a good fight.

Also, I’m on board with you gunslinger, hockey is a good sport, too bad the Hurricanes are idiots and just fired the coach that one the Stanley Cup and then rehired the coach they fired before hiring the guy they just fired.

actually gilbert isnt that bad of a fighter…..brett rogers vs josh barnett are u kidding me brett rogers needs a win over a top 25 hw and a top ten hw before he earns a fight against someone of the likes of barnett…now yvel isnt half the fighter he used to be but he has beaten good fighters…rogers hasnt! oh and the to the HOCKEY SUCKS guy….I happen to like hockey, its a great sport id watch nhl over the nba anyday…..college and high school basketball is more enjoyable than the nba
