The California State Athletic Commission finally cleared Gilbert Yvel to fight, but former IFL lightweight champion, Chris Horodecki, was not cleared to fight due to a bulging disc.

Horodecki was slated to face Dan Lauzon yet during his pre-fight physical doctors discovered that Chris had a bulging cartilage disc at the base of his neck.

On the other side of the spectrum Gilbert Yvel was finally cleared to fight Josh Barnett. Yvel has a histroy of 'dirty' behavior and the Nevada State Athletic Commission denied him a fighting license in 2007.
