It seems the always temperamental California State Athletic Commission has struck yet again. While it was widely speculated that a case of Hepatitis kept Aleksander Emelianenko out of his scheduled bout at Affliction “Banned”, it now appears that it was merely a matter of paperwork:
“I passed the medical board and my license to fight was obtained without any problems. But the fact is that in California the commission is very rigid for admittance. One of the main conditions to let you fight is the ability to pass all of your tests on time. I had to be in America by July 13, the Visa was only good until the fourteenth and my tickets were purchased in advance for the fifteenth.
On the whole, I was late. They thought the organizers could agree and settle the problem but they quickly found out they would not be able to get me on the card. Instead they were able to find a suitable replacement for Paul Buentello. The laws in California are so rigid.”
So Emelianenko was fine medically, but just couldn’t get all that paperwork into Armando Garcia and friends fast enough. You stay classy, CSAC.

First I Love the “The Anchorman” reference…haha!
Second how the F*ck did a problem with a visa turn into a rumor about Hepatitis?
Glad to hear that it wasn’t hep – that would have sucked huge!
I’ve always enjoyed watching l’ll Emelianenko compete!
I think Alexsander would have been a much better fight than Goodridge. In fact…I’m pretty sure Fedor’s bro would have won this one.
Good to hear he’s healthy!
What details are we still missing? He does have the look of someone who frequently visits Asian massage parlors……
if i’m not mistaken, wasn’t this the original report on why he couldn’t fight? then the whole hep b thing came into play. So he doesn’t have hepatitis b anymore?
Kris, so how did the HEP thing come out to begin with
and does he have it
nathan- emelianenko says the rumors about the hepatitis were completely false, and that his absence was solely due to his being late on the medical paperwork.
The paperwork that he was dealing with was actually to silence the russian prostitutes that gave him the hep or hiv or whatever. This is also why affliction is going to sign Tito. Lyoto wasn’t running from Tito, he was running the VDs that Jenna J. gave him.
i hope he can fight in Affliction 2 now,
good to see that it was not hep hes a good fighter!
How did the Hepatitis rumor even start then?? Someone just think it was funny??
that’s what I’m wondering Fixxer.
I still don’t believe we are getting the true story from Affliction(Is there a more inappropriate name ? )
So how about Aleksander vs. Barnett on Affliction 2? The card needs one more big fight.
Always watch out for the web tattoo…
i think Aleksander vs. Beuntello would be a decent fight but aleks coming out with the easy win.
so where the fook did the hepititus come from did they just make it up i wouldnt put it passes csac
Yes this is the news I wanted to hear no hep b. I didn’t believe when people started the rumor. He had just fought in canada and they do blood tests and everything the same as we do. So can’t wait to see him smashing people in vegas.
Maybe he got it after his Canada fight.. Has been treated since but he wasn’t completely healthy at the time of the affliction event. Now it may be completely gone and in an attempt to not ruin his image he comes out with a statement about it being a misunderstanding and it was completely false. Come on thats a pretty off the wall rumor to be started for no reason. I even heard his opponent did an interview and said the fight was scrapped because he had Hep..
ya he doesnt have the hep b..alexs vs buentello at affliction 2
Just look at the dude guys. This isn’t Fedor! This is Feodor’s angry shadow. Aleksander wants to be big like his brother and cannot handle the jealousy anymore. That is why he is making up rumors of hepatitis A-Z and visa problems. This guy is a 1980s closet rapist….just look at him and his European mullet. Sick strange bastard. Chances are he is sick mentally, physically and emotionally inside and out.
He needs to
1 Go under the laser to get the crap reduced if not removed completely
2 Start doing some interviews
3 Sign in the UFC as he will not fight his brother
The CSAC sucks plain and simple.All the major organizations should stop putting shows on out in California.
>So how about AleksandervsBarnett on Affliction 2?
Agreed. Barnett lose only 2 years ago, right?
I could definitely go for that.
>He needs to Go under the laser to get the crap >reduced if not removed completely
What are you talking about? he has some kind of tumor? You cant mean his tatoos for pete’s sake, can you? Old ladies dont get upset by them anymore, I think some lisping nuthugger like yourself could deal with some ugly tatoos.
the rumor started because he was in prison for 5 years and got jailhouse tat’s. y’no how they dont have any sanitary conditions in jails so he couldve gotten a disease easily.
