It seems that all the top champions and fighters have a strong sense of faith, interesting mental pattern here. I wish Fedor had a less slimey manager than Vadim.

If Fedor is to be believed, Aleks' criminal record wasn't the cause of his problems. (Makes sense as they've known about this and that would probably cause him to be turned down for a visa anyway.)

Yep. It's ok to believe what you want though... santa, fairies, ghosts or god, believe what you want, but don't advertise your believes. It's ok to speak about it when someone asks of course, like in this case. I just hope Fedor stays himself.

Not sure what God'll make of a cyborg trying to get into heaven.

Not to go off topic, but you SHOULD advertise your beliefs. Just don't think, that if people have different beliefs than you, they are worth less.

The religious and the non-religious can "advertise" their beliefs all they want. Fedor doesn't believe in Santa, fairies, or ghosts, though. Only God. I believe that Fedor has been a Christian for a while now.

Yes, maybe a strong religious faith does have some positive psychological effect which helps in the ring, doesn't make it any more true though!
