We may have seen the last of former Bellator MMA Middleweight champion, Alexander Shlemenko, fighting in North America.
Shlemenko's spectacular spinning backfist knockout of Melvin Manhoef at Bellator 133 back in February (watch it here) led him to beg the promotion for a chance to regain the 185-pound title he dropped to Brandon Halsey via rear-naked choke at Bellator 126 in Sept. 2014.
"Scott Coker, please, I want my belt back. I made a mistake!"
The real mistake Shlemenko made, however, was using performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) to achieve his victory inside Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif.
