Aleks Emelianenko returns to action tonight - well actually RIGHT NOW - in Russia, facing off against Korean heavyweight Lee Sang Soo. Lee, who is a spectacular 1-0 in his MMA career, will have more to worry about than just losing the fight to Aleks:
It is the first time that Aleks has fought since being removed at the last minute from Affliction's debut event in July. He was removed at the behest of the California State Athletic Commission, which did not explain why it had refused him a licence.

Rumours circulated that blood tests had found Hepatitis B but in an exclusive recent interview with Fighters Only, Aleks said there was no truth to the claim. "That is not true, these rumours about medical problems are not true," he told us. "I was removed from the card because of problems with my paperwork."

"My visa came late for the USA, I arrived two days late and it meant that I could not complete necessary paperwork on time."

If you're new around here and want a crash course in understanding why Armando Garcia being gone from the CSAC is good for the sport, it's because of dubious situations like this. If any other commission had made the statements the CSAC made regarding Aleks, no one would believe Aleks for a second when he says he's Hep C free. But since the CSAC has a history of being cocksuckers, he has enough wiggle room to keep fighting.

But BECAUSE the CSAC are cocksuckers, there IS the chance that Aleks is telling the truth and he DOESN'T have Hep. And if that's the case, how fucked up is it that the CSAC didn't come out and confirm Aleks' story? One way or another, someone is being a real prick about this situation and right now some Korean heavyweight is about to get into the ring and face a guy who might be contagious.

the real danger is that he'll catch a bad tattoo.

Patient: "Yeah, Doc, I've got what kinda looks like the Grim Reaper holding an infant in swaddling clothes. You don't think--"

Doctor: "Oh. My. God."

Its true who do you believe hear ? Eather way its not a good situation . If Alex does have any kind of Hep be it B or C I have heard strories about bolth he should never ever fight again all it takes is a little of his blood to you into a fighters eye or mouth but if he he does not have Hep and Armando Garcia and CSAC should of let it be known asap becasue thats a terrable thing to let others think about a fighter and hurts his future for fights pretty dam bad. The only thing that is very weard and I don't buy at all is Aleks story about problems with visa paperwork ? Please there is something more to it then that. And its common knowledge that all forms of HEP A,B and C go around the inside of prisons like the common Cold goes around the work place or a school. If Alex does have Hep its pretty fucked up onhis part his continues to fight knowing that ????

Can't they just test him again?
Shocbomb
Sure Roxy if it was in the U.S he would get tested again ASAP but this fight is under M-1 in Russia of all places and M-1 is ran buy guess who his manager Vadim Finkelstein and Vadim proably does not give to shits if he has Hep or want this known about his second biggest star and money maker.

Fedor did an interview with fightline.com I'll try to find the link but he says flat out there was a problem with Alexs' blood work. His opponent prolly has no idea.
robthom
That was a lot of pricks and cocks. Should I get myself tested for hep c now ?

Q: Your brother Aleksander was supposed to compete in the past Affliction event. What was the reason they would not let him in the ring? Many are afraid, that a similar situation will repeat during next event.

A: I cannot comment in any way on this situation. Aleksander really was removed from competing because of some blood analyzes. So I cannot really say anything.

Apparently Aleks knocked dude out in like a minute. So while he lost the fight, he doesn't have AIDS, and that's half the battle.
