He didn't wait to get it cleared, he can't make them clear it, he just has to wait until it gets cleared. You act like he was just putting it off or something, being lazy.

I don't remember seeing any evidence Buentello actually said anything about hep. All I ever saw was a forum post claiming he did. I.e. nothing substantial.

As usual, you shouldn't trust rumours, and I honestly feel that those of you who spread the word that he would have Hep B are to be fucking ashamed.

It doesn't work that way. It gets cleared when the government office he applied to allows it to be cleared. It has nothing to do with Aleks, he can't make it go fast. Plus with he being convicted of a crime in Russia sure didn't help speed it up

Someone needs to slap whoever didnt work with Aleks at the CSAC since they sent a good fight down the drain...

I used to live in Bangkok, Sukhumvit Soi 13 to be precise. Good times. But Alex wasn't scheduled to fight there, was he? He was scheduled to fight in a far more politically correct place: America, which has a large Jewish population that gets outraged at that sort of thing and would make life very uncomfortable for Affliction and MMA in general. For example, read this:
Not surprisingly, this rapidly rising blood sport is likewise wildly popular among racist skinheads and other young extremists with a thirst for violence. Many white supremacist online forums have recently established discussion groups devoted specifically to MMA; skinhead gangs across the country are raising money by hosting illegal backyard tournaments; and retired white supremacist cage fighter Mike Buell runs a major MMA training school in Arizona whose logo is a Celtic cross (often used as a white supremacist symbol) and the phrase "Hail Victory" (the German equivalent is "sieg heil").
...
Last Oct. 18, shortly after Costa's comments and pictures of his tattoos were republished widely on MMA fan websites, Gary Shaw, the live events president of the parent company that owns King of the Cage, issued this statement: "I try not to allow anyone to fight in the cage or the ring that has anything inappropriate either on their gear or tattooed permanently on their body. And that means either ethnic, or racial, or anything offensive to the general public. I was unaware of the situation but I'm in the process of handling it now. Hopefully, it will never happen again."
But it did, less than two months later. Costa fought in a King of the Cage event held last Dec. 18. For the first time, though, he lost. Davis, for his part, did not return two E-mails seeking clarification on his league's regulation of fighters with "inappropriate" tattoos.
Etc, etc. Not the kind of public relations nighmare Affliction or MMA needs, no?
