If he were really a Nazi he wouldn't have signed with a Jewish manager, Vadim Finkelstein, but that won't placate some people.
Given the conflicting stories it is perfectly reasonable to speculate what really happened.

Joachim Hansen fought at PRIDE 32 and he has a tattoo that white supremacists have on their bodies.

You're basing this on what exactly?

Seems strange they would clear it ONE DAY too late, knowing what he was coming to the country for....

We don't know when he applied, thet could have been slow in getting his paperwork in...seems odd they cleared him, but did it one day too late for him to get cleared when this fight was proposed months ago...

Mybe, just maybe if Aleks having hep was a rumor, then it's possible that Rampage going nuts and thinking he was God is just a rumor. Maybe he had an "episode" that wasn't too serious. Oh well, glad to hear Aleks is alright.

I hope this is a joke. If you read the recent Sherdog interviews you would see that he is way more intelligent than 99% of these forums.

Good. Aleksander is the most talented heavyweight out there (along with Kharitonov). If he continues to train properly and doesn't have hep as the rumours say and is able to still fight, he's definitely future championship material.
