Aleksander Emelianenko not cleared to fight the "Head Hunter"
http://mmamania.com/2008/07/18/aleks...ght-cancelled/
Quote:
Aleksander Emelianenko failed to meet the medical licensing requirements and will be unable to compete against Paul Buentello tomorrow night at the Affliction: “Banned” event at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
MMAmania.com just confirmed the bad news with California State Athletic Commission Executive Director, Armando Garcia, directly.
The state has very strict medical privacy laws; therefore, Mr. Garcia was unable to elaborate on the situation.
He did mention that the CSAC would help find and license a new opponent for Buentello if the fighter and the promotion are interested; however, with the event slated to begin in about 24 hours the window of opportunity is real small.
The heavyweight slugfest between Emelianenko and Buentello was supposed to be the featured bout on the Fox Sports Net telecast — there’s no word yet on how it will look with this latest news.
Stay tuned.

Looks like Buentello lucked out, this time.

Man that sucks big time. I was looking forward to Aleks coming out looking like he just had a nap and then ripping Buentello to pieces.

I really wanted to see this fight.
Now, I'm sad. 
Goodridge is replacing Buentello, which is, well, um, decent, I guess. Has Goodridge done anything recently? |

Man, I miss watching Aleks punch people in the face while looking like he's on Valium.
Yeah, Buentello should win this fight, but Goodridge could catch him. I wanted to see Aleks, dammit!!!

That's probably why he didn't get through the medical session
