On the fight networks website, It says that Alex's next fight will be in Alberta against Wesley Cabbage Correira. Talk about a step down in competition for him!
I bet you after this fight though, nobody will be talking about Cabbage's tough chin as it will most likely be knocked into the stands during this fight!

Alexander would beat Cabbage probroly by somthin like split or Unatimous decion cause Alexander would push Cabbage and Cabbages chin is really good so neither would finish the fight

Well due to the fact that he can't fight in the UFC and K-1 hasn't made him an offer(that i'm aware of) he doesn't really have anyone to fight.

At least he is staying active. Even though I think it is a mismatch, the experience definitely won't hurt Alex and he will only improve as a fighter because of it.

I don't really believe that. If they wanted to get him over they could pull some strings. Heck, he's fighting in Canada... obviously somehow he can go there.

Aleks would be a good addition no doubt, good subs, good chin and good striking, he's like a better sylvia. But I think the US is a bit more stingy then us Canucks.

I don't think it's a question of pulling strings or whatever... The fact is that he's a convicted felon and the US has been getting more and more strict about such things... I dont think it's just a matter of "c'mon, he's famous, let him in(wink wink)..." But then again I could be wrong
I guess I don't know how he's getting into Canada, if you're crossing from the states, they won't even let you in if you've had a DWI (which I don't think is a felony), but who knows, maybe it's different for something like fighting/sports
