Sorry lads im in work and cant link the pics but what do you all think? Can he become a good 205er for the B leagues? Glover, Soko, Houston etc.. there are some cracking fights for him at 205 and Bellator could use any decent 205er they can get their hands on!

Can he make 205? He seemed a pretty decent sized HW.

What weight is he in that photo? He seems ripped already and would have problems shedding too much more i reckon!

If he does make it there are several fun fight for him there though, as you say ben!

efils Gilbert is 221 in that photo and apparently his fight is in four days.

He'll probably gas horribly if the guys he's fighting can withstand the first barrage.

Wow that's insane, if he even makes 205, he'll be gassing in about 3 minutes.

I assume he'll swing for the fences from the word go and hope for the best!!

Damn Tito has a challenger in the real life bobble head sweepstakes. Smile

Could be a good move for him and surely a viable option for Bellator's light LHW division.

Yvel will be a monster at 205, back in the day he was a stone cold killer and I reckon against Smaller men he will pick up a few wins, If he doesnt gass badly he will be a force on the feet at Lhw. Bellator would be a good fit for sure, Anyone know who he is fighting? I cant find it anywhere!!

Big difference! Could be a great move for his career if he doesnt gas within a couple of minutes.

He's fighting Damian Dantibo on Dec 16.

Guy is 6ft, he has 4 wins, 2 KO's and 2 decisions, and 1 loss by sub. According to Sherdog though, he's usually a middleweight... Make of that what you will

If he can make it and not gas withing 2 minutes he could be quite good. He's very fun to watch, but he was never a great fighter. He could barely last a round without seeing his life blink before his eyes at HW, not sure how he's going to fight at LHW. This could be James Irvin all over again. If it works though, it can work well. Bellator could use him.

Man that's a big change,he looks really good at the lighter weight.

35 might be a bit late to make the change,but if his cardio isn't effected to badly from it,this could be the best career move he's made,especially if he can get into bellator's next LHW tourney.

I'd back him to beat M'Pumbu,now,and Wuiff (who not long ago made the similar cut to LHW)is probably going to be favorite to win next seasons tourney and i'd back him to beat him.

What did Yvel fight at,when at HW,245-50ish?

Yeah he was 249 against Madsen, so it's a very big drop!

Is he actually 205 here though? Looks like the same day (same underwear, same physique) as when he weighed 221 in the OP....

Dunno, Can't say I've personally weighed him Smile

Smile

he says he is tho.

Maybe he just doesn't change his boxers often.. Either that or he only has a couple of pairs

Haha thanks! I didn't see him saying he was 205. I guess his fight is this weekend though right? Will be interesting to see how he does...

I think his fights tonight, because he's been posting on Facebook about how he's spending today eating loads of junk food so I presume he weighed in yesterday.
