"Dear fans, the last few months I spent in an Orthodox monastery on Mount Athos in Greece, where many conversations with the elders, priests. My communication with the elder Elijah confessor of our Metropolitan, and his advice and blessings to return to the sport made me think seriously about it. I decided that I wanted to speak again in the ring and his appearances to popularize the sport among children and youths "- wrote Emelianenko.

I hope he comes back when he's ready and does so with a bang!

I'm happy he got some help because trying to kick booze can be pretty hard and when you're known it's probably more difficult as people offering you whatever left and right.

I´m not sure Monson ever said that Aleks had Hep C. Is there a legit source to this? The anarchy news comment looked like a bad joke to me.

Aleksander Emelianenko Comes Out of Retirement, Signs Contract With ProFC

Just three months after deciding to hang up his gloves for good, former Pride veteran Aleksander Emelianenko has done an about-face and announced that he wants to resume his 10-year professional fighting career for Russian organization ProFC.

“I have spent the last few months in an Orthodox monastery on Mount Athos in Greece and had many conversations with the elders and priests there,” the 31-year-old stated in a release on the promotion’s website. “I communicated a lot with Elijah, the confessor of our Metropolitan, and he gave me the advice and the blessings to return to the sport. I have since signed a long-term contract [with ProFC] and soon, tentatively in the summer, you will see my debut inside their cage.”

With his retirement just lasting a quarter of a year, Emelianenko beats out English knockout artist Paul Daley for the quickest return to action after walking away. In 2008, the controversial Brit had a four-month stint during which he considered himself retired. Emelianenko last competed at M-1 Challenge 35 on Nov. 15, falling to Jeff Monson via second-round submission.

Now that the younger of the two Emelianenko brothers will return to action, questions arise about a possible comeback of one of the sport’s most successful and beloved icons in his brother, Fedor Emelianenko. In a recent television interview with Russian channel RT Sports News, the 36-year-old “Last Emperor” continued to remain true to his stance when he claimed that, “Only if God tells me to come back, [I will come out of retirement].”

Wasn't it Kharitonov (I could be wrong) who said this in the first place ? I remember them having beef and saying stuff back and fourth in the media and if it's not true that's a really messed up thing to spread about someone.

Whoever said it ...

It was Paul Buentello who started the Hep rumours as far as I recall.

Interesting read, you know M-1 could still make this ALex-segei fight happen if they really wanted too, Sergei works for M-1 after all behind the scenes.

I laughed when I read : Maybe he over partied at gay parades in Amsterdam and lost his head.
