Agreed, I'm definitely not a fan of this guy. It's always something completely unsportsman like from him. Though someone should really post the clip of him KO'ing the referee. It's so over the top when he does it you don't know what to think.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=220964006501530800 - Yvel KOing a referee. Sorry for the shitty quality, I tried to find the clip on youtube but couldnt find it. The punch is at around 1:40, and it's a hell of a shot too followed by a kick while the ref is still down. The guy is a disgrace..

This fight will be fantastic.  I'm also looking forward to Baby Fedor vs. the Headhunter.

He wont stand a chance against Josh, he's too light and all his recent wins are against cans. I bet that built up a false sense of self esteem in him.
