http://urdirt.blogspot.com/2008/08/csac-says-aleksander-will-not-fight-in.html Hmmm. Not great news for him. Also got to wonder just how truthful Aleks and his manager have been. Something smells fishy.:think
Hope this is not true, but who knows. Maybe the Hep rumors were true or he has HIV or something bad like that...
This sucks for Affliction - but is no doubt good news for DREAM. It's too bad because I wanted to see Aleks mix it up with Arlovksi, Sylvia, or rematch Barnett.
I love how Aleks has a felony on his record and may have hepatitis, so the U.S. doesn't want him fighting on our soil. But Japan is across the ocean saying, "We'll take you!" Only in the land of Giant Silva vs. Minowa, can diseased felons fight to their heart's content.
They could always pull something similar to what the UFC is doing, but instead of targeting the U.K. audience, they could target the Japanese audience.. Doing shows both in the U.S. and Japan. Opening **** up for fights that wouldn't be legal in the U.S. picking up the bad boy image that sells in the U.S. and the fight your heart out image loved in Japan. They do this, they could pick up Fireball. I should be Donald Trumps ****ing consultant.
