I would prefer to have seen Barnett vs. Aleksander... any word on if/who he is fighting? I know he's planning to fight May 10 in England but I was hoping to have an "All in the Family" night. Maybe that will have to wait until the 3rd Emelianenko (sp) is ready for the big time (am I hallucinating? There is another brother right?).

With the felony conviction on his record, Aleksander Emelianenko will likely never be allowed to get a work visa to fight in the US. He can fight overseas and in Canada, but when he applied for a work visa to the US to fight in Pride Real Deal, he was denied due to that conviction in Russia. I've had some problems getting a confirmation of what the conviction was, but that was the reason why he was left off that card.
