Good to hear that he is in good health. I hope to see him on the October Affliction card, I was really looking forward to seeing him in the last one.

I like Alexs, but I call BS on this. He's known he was fighting forever, why would he wait until the last minute to get his visa cleared...plus why would PB say he had hep for no reason...

A lot of dumbasses in this thread. Aleks has a criminal history so clearing his Visa isnt as easy as some of you morons may suggest.
Aleks will be on the next card for sure.

He would've killed Buentello.
I wanted to see him fight Arlovski and Barnett fight Fedor next, but whatev's. Maybe Aleks/Tim??

You should travel to asia. You will notice alot of swastika's all over the place. Lots of people have swastika tattoos as well. It has nothing to do with being a nazi.
