alex is way worse. I interact with russian mma...I don't like him at all, I can tolerate jones and see through his character flaws, but alex is just unlikable to a point that fedor pretty much disowned him.Jones and Aleks have the same exact personality type. They have great potential to be successful and charming and friendly but are also sociopathic psychopaths.
The stars are not Nazi stuff, it’s just Prison stuff, since Aleks was in prison in his youthWonder if Jon knows that Aleks has swastikas tattooed on his knees, and various other Nazi slogans and images all over him... But he admires his work, no doubt!
Nazi imagery on Russian criminals doesn't necessarily mean that they're nazis themselves, it means they support enemies of the soviet state... Stars on the knees mean they'll never kneel to the state, and a swastika inside doubles down on that notion.
No kneeling in front of someone is how you showed respect to the Tsar or someone higher rankedI trust you, but in prison, wouldn't that largely be the same thing?
I'm guessing you didn't read what was in the spoiler or anything else I posted in the thread...The stars are not Nazi stuff, it’s just Prison stuff, since Aleks was in prison in his youth
He was in prison before that as well when he was in his teens/early 20s for robbery or something like thatI'm guessing you didn't read what was in the spoiler or anything else I posted in the thread...
Also... Youth? Dude only just got out again...

Hes been in jail more times than most... Being hard as nails and well connected would have helped him rise quickly - his tattoos have evolved accordingly - more spires on his cathedral, stars turned into epulets, tattoos eluding to his power over women, tattoos eluding to him being a murderer, and so on... He's high-level.He was in prison before that as well when he was in his teens/early 20s for robbery or something like that

Bottom line is that Aleks doesn't fuck around... He earned his ink, or he wouldn't be allowed to wear it.
Little wonder than Fedor distanced himself from his bro.
If I remember correctly, Aleks didn’t earn them and that’s why he covered them up. Tho he definitely was in prison before his rape chargeAlex ended up covering up his "Vor V Zakone" stars years later which suggests that either he didn't "earn his ink" or the Shotcaller Vor who gave the blessing for Alex to get those stars tattooed on his shoulders was invalidated and removed from his position of power. Datsik covered this and called Aleks out on getting his stars covered up. Datsik also spent lots of time in the Russian Prison system.

I'm totally speculating here, but are we sure that they're not a kind of epulet? A little low, maybe, but they're also holding up the tapestry of his other tattoos? He also seems to have epulets anyway - would signify an upgrade/promotion rather than being downgraded... Its hard to imagine Aleks getting downgraded considering his personal status... He used to have spiderwebs on his shoulders, which means he's caught up in criminality, but again, I'm speculating about the epulets.
The "Gott mil uns" on his back - i don't know if he's covered it up recently, but its also Azi insignia - the SS wore it on their uniform, albeit it goes back to pre-soviet Russia too... Either way its anti-establishment.
Datsik... I dont know how to take what he says - he's batshit insane, and said/did some crazy things... He might be spot on, or trying to undermine Aleks because if his own problems/humiliations... Honestly, anything is possible with Datsik.
The one thing that stands against it is his/his bro's friendship with Putin (obviouslymore Fedor than him... But then again there's a lot of very powerful oligarchs/friends of the state that are high-ranking thieves, and doing business in open sight.
This is where my knowledge gets murky - I don't know if they get covered up if you move up, or if they're actual epulets in the first place... Fascinating system/conversation though.As far as I know nobody gets their stars covered up unless those stars and whoever blessed them has been invalidated.
Datsik has completely recovered from what he was 15 years ago. He's a full time fighter who trains very hard and he got married and had a kid. He's completely normal and coherent in his interviews.
He's spent a lot of time in Russian Prison and wouldn't comment on this if he was talking out of school.
PFL fawning over Jones all weekend has been a bit bizarre.
They care about MMA as a whole unlike the UFC who just cares about their brand
More they're desperate for any kind of rub they can get.
How are they desperate?
