Josh Barnett fight tomorrow at the Affliction event against Gilbert Yvel, a really unworthy opponent, which is guided in any ranking.
Loretta Hunt of Sherdog.com interviewed an indifferent acting Josh Barnett before his fight against Gilbert Yvel. The training camp has gone to plan. By Yvel expect Barnett an "aggressive" and "chaotic" style of fighting, which he would not leave, however unsettling. He plans to control Yvel him to wear down on the floor and with ground and pound. Barnett estimates his opponents as "hard hitting and kicking, but rather imprecise" one.
Asked about a future fight against Fedor Barnett stressed the friendship of the Russians. A problem while he could not fight him, but it was "much easier if we were in different weight classes."
Finally Loretta Hunt asked him nor a prediction of the Fedor-Arlovski fight. "I think it is a mistake that Arlovski has spent so much time with boxing," said Barnett. The attitude of the dispute, the distance, the rhythm, everything is different about the Striking in MMA. Barnett added, "if Arlovski but can use his footwork, are more active and defensive struggles, he can perhaps use his hands and Fedor keep their distance. But first, I do not think he has a sufficiently good footwork. Second, it is not a very smart fighter, but going forward rather aggressively. What will happen at the end is that Arlovski and Fedor punches him to the ground, bring in the clinch or a stroke. Arlovski is powerful, and has landed the chance of a lucky punch, but Fedor is a pretty safe bet "
