Matt Mitrione vs Alexander Emelianenko

[Roukas]

I know this is highly unlikely to happen but how cool would this match up be? It's a chance for Alex to get revenge for Fedor. Alexander is bigger or around the same size as Mitrione if I'm not mistaken I think it would be a great match

 

[Roukas]

Bellator needs more HW names. Does Aleks still have that medical problem or is he all cured? I'd like to see Fedors brother in the Bellator cage y not

 

[Edwin]

Didn't he have Hepatitis?

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

Not bad. Wouldn't mind Cro Cop either to get revenge for his PRIDE brethren.

 

[leto1776]

Fuck Aleks. So overrated.

 

[arrmike]

I've always seen a lot in common. Depends on how Alex has aged. But prime vs prime I think it is intriguing.

Oh boy people, just let Alex float away into his thug life or whatever you want to call it.

The dude is out of prison now and who knows if could even travel anywhere. Hasn't fought for almost 4 years and is almost 36 years old. Recent years have shown he isn't in the greatest shape. Has Hep in his blood and since that rumor has yet to have a fight where a commission requires blood test for medicals and we are going back to like 2008ish or so.

Alexs is bigger than Mitrione bit I think.He stands a good chance. Fedor seriously needs to drop to LHW or even MW. These guys are are too big and strong especially at this point in his career.

I might be wrong but don't they have cures for hepatitis now . He might be cured by now. 36 is young for heavyweight actually. He has the genetics of Fedor I'm surprised organizations like UFC or Bellator aren't trying to sign him . He could be a top star even now

 

[Zvengeance]

I doubt he can even enter USA anymore after his rape sentence. Maybe Bellator in Russia.

 

[Mixfight]

Aleks is barely a recovered alcoholic. Hasnt fought in nearly 4 years and blew his knee out. Prime Aleks would have kicked the shit out of Mitrione but that Aleks has been dead for about a decade. Hes 36 years old but in alcoholic years he's probably close to 45.

 

[VulcanNervPinch]

I can't believe he's only 36 and only 4 yrs since his last win.

Feels more like 40 and 10

 

[crystallake]

There was a news from like a year ago where he signed to some degestan organisation iirc but seems nothing came out of that. I wouldnt be surprised if he is back to his old lifestyle.

 

[chillyoo]

Would love to see Aleks fight but the hoops to go throw to get that to happen seem impossible.

Bellator has a very interesting HW division, a few more additions and it'll be the premier spot for HW's

 

[Jay_Winter]

People have been talking about Alex coming back for years, but I don't think I'm going out on a limb here by predicting he's done. Maybe he'll show up for some obscure Russian organization, but if his last performance is anything to go by... he will not even be half the fighter he was in PRIDE. Mitrione would beat him at this point in the game.

 

[ThunderL1ps]

Just stop.

Bellator needs to hijack Fight Night Global's Pavlovich, Sidelnikov and bring back Minakov.

KSW's Rozalski and Rodrigues

And PFL's Ivanov
