Yvel Controversy
The controversial Gilbert Yvel was signed after Aleksander Emelianenko was unable to be licensed in time. A hearing by the CSAC was scheduled as to whether to permit Yvel to fight at the event. Yvel was not cleared to fight until he met privately with CSAC Assistant Executive Officer Bill Douglas and Chief Athletic Inspector Dean Lohuis to determine whether he will be licensed to compete. The CSAC cleared Yvel to fight and granted him a license to compete against Barnett three days before the event.

Famous quotes containing the word controversy:
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
