As we all know Aleksander Emelianenko was not cleared to fight for Affliction's debut show "Banned" on July 19. We have heard all the rumors about Hepatitis and other various ailments from many different places. Aleks denied these rumors as did his manager Vadim Finkelstein saying "Timing" and "Visa" issues forced him off of the card. Well now in a interview with Bill Douglas from the CSAC with MMA Memories.comsays that Aleks will never be cleared to fight in the United States."The one thing that I can absolutely say is that he (Aleksander) was not and will not be cleared to fight in California. He is officially licensed denied and that will stand for all of the United States of America".
I dont know about you, but a visa problem is pretty easy to finish from my understanding. There is something that Aleksander and Vadim do not want the people to know about and the speculation will continue until official word on the real issue comes out.
