Barnett beat Yvel and never was in any danger in that fight, Zentsov knocked him out in the first round, so Junior Dos Santos will certainly solidify his status by convincing victory, his ground game is for sure much better and standup isn't worse.
For those of you who question Yvel's ground game its actually not that bad, I recently read an interview with him where he said he trained from 8Am to 8PM every day and 3 hours of that was ground work so I at that rate of training we will see a huge change even from the Barnette fight.
I doubt this will be a ground battle anyways. Also, we have never really seen JDS ground game yet (unless people have seen his fights prior to UFC) and it's all hearsay since we are just assuming he's good because he's under Nog.
I just hope that Dos Santos is healthy and 100%. I don't want to see him getting knocked out and saying afterwards that he had a heart attack or broke both of his hands while training prior to the fight or some other stupid excuses that many defeated fighters love to bring up when they got mauled.
