AFAIC he's paid for his crimes now, I don't know how banning him from the UFC could be justified.
UFC or MMA should draw the line where all the other sports draw the line imo.
We have convicted felons playing football, hockey, basketball... why should MMA be treated any differently? OK, some will say that MMA needs an extra clean image because of the nature of the sport, but I say **** that.
I wanna see the best fighters out there, and whether they've been convicted (and served their sentences) before, doesn't matter.
I know Aleks Emelianenko has a criminal record (not sure how severe crimes he's been convicted of)... what if his brother did? Would everyone want to ban him from fighting?
PS. just to make this thread more political and controversial, I totally disagree with the US policy of denying convicted felons of their voting rights.
