MMANews is reporting, that Aleksander Emelianenko, brother of Top heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko, tested positive for Hepatitis B, which caused the drama during the weigh-ins at “Affliction Banned” and lead to Emelianenko being denied a license by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC). Emelianenko was ultimately replaced by MMA veteran Gary Goodridge who lost decision to Paul Buentello in the opening fight of “Affliction Banned”.
Wiki Hepatitis B:
Hepatitis B virus infects the liver of hominoidae, including humans, and causes an inflammation called hepatitis. It is a DNA virus and one of many unrelated viruses that cause viral hepatitis. The proportion of the world’s population currently infected with the virus is estimated at 3 to 6%, but up to a third have been exposed. Symptoms of the acute illness caused by the virus include liver inflammation, vomiting, jaundice, and rarely, death. Chronic hepatitis B may eventually cause liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, a fatal disease with very poor response to current chemotherapy.[3] The infection is preventable by vaccination.[4]

A Broken Hand Didn’t Prevent Vitor Belfort From Getting The KO at Affliction Banned
Vitor Belfort discusses his KO win over Terry Martin at Affliction Banned last Saturday night. Amazingly he broke his hand early in the fight and was still able to end the fight with a big KO.
The first punch I threw. It was a straight left. I knew right away it broke. But I had to keep going. I couldn’t throw my combinations I had worked on. Coach Tompkins was yelling at me to throw my combos. At the end of the first round I went back to the corner and Tompkins was yelling at me, “Why don’t you throw your combos?†I said, “My hand is brokenâ€. He said, “Ok†and Randy said, “Just go first. Go for it and finish the fightâ€.
I said to myself, “Ok, I’ll do thatâ€. It was great chemistry in the corner. I went out and I did what they said.
