Is in quite better shape but still getting hit. Looks a bit rusty.

Back in the day he was like Liddell but with faster hands and a little cleaner technique. It was a beautiful thing to behold.

So he can fight with his full blow hep-aids?

Never heard him compared to Liddell and I'm not sure I can quite see the connection. Did they really fight that similarly? I mean they both hit like a truck but Liddell had a wrestling background he used in reverse to sprawl and brawl and came from Hawaiian, Kempo, whereas Aleks is a Sambo guy who surprisingly sucked on the ground. I guess I wouldn't say they AREN'T similar but they never seemed like they were very similar to me either.

Very responsible of him. Kudos Aleks. I don't think anyone ever expected "responsible" and "Aleks Em." to be said in the same sentence anyway. When you are imprisoned for abusing your house keeper, have spent multiple years in prison, and are quite likely involved in the Russian mafia and IMO have probably killed people before, I am not really too sure you give much of a shit if you give anyone Hep or whatever it is he has... Likewise, the Russian promoters are as much to blame as he is, as obviously they know about whatever he has and don't care either.

Coolest back tattoo in MMA, or any other sport.
The stars are cool too, especially if their meaning is as advertised.

I think he meant purely from a striking stand point. lengthy, powerful shots from multiple and odd angles, even the smaller shots had a sting to them. Watch the first exchange. The hand position, the hard counter right and the way be backs out. That's some pure liddel shit right there.

Yeah, after watching it I actually do see what he was talking about now, though I'd never really thought about it much before. Liddell, Aleks and Fedor all do have a bit of a similarity in their hand techniques also in the sense that none have ever really used anything close to perfect boxing technique, all can be flat footed at times (I think Liddell was more flat footed than Aleks and Fedor) but still land the knockout shots from odd angles. Aleks and Fedor do a kind of "casting" technique from Sambo, as did Igor Vov., whereas Liddell just throws that overhand right kind of like a brawler, but yeah, they are somewhat similar in some ways.
