Affliction takes another hit because of the inexpirience, Dana must be smiling somewhere.

i knew it...i was scratching my head this whole time trying to figure out how Aleks was going to fight in America and then this happens. a facade can only go so far i suppose.
im still going to order it and it is still a great card...but this a big blow imo.

Aleks can fight in the U.S., he just must have not followed the rules. Aleks' crime was commited before he was 18... and by law does not disqualify him from getting a visa. Not sure what happened, but if it's due to visa issues it's unlawful.

I'm shocked he could even get a visa to come in to the country. Seams like so many people are having visa issues so I'm shocked a x Russian convict got approved. Wonder what the medical reason is?

We may not know at all. According to Mania (my source), (Armando) Garcia couldn't elaborate due to California's very strict medical privacy laws.

Actually, I think it's a plot by communists... in cahoots with the Yakuza!

2 words for tonight: DON KING! Revenge for all the hatin'! But seriously, this has been one of the craziest days in recent MMA memory: This, the UFC weigh-in thing with Irvin, Kid Yamamoto's injury and subsequent DREAM card decimation...7/18/08-a day that may forever live in MMA infamy.
