Aleks was really something tho. When he came back again in 2017 his 5 or 6 fight win streak, with wins over guys like Gonzaga and Viktor Pesta. That was insane. It seemed like he was on the cusp of a major org and looked incredible than fell off again. What a guy. I hope others enjoy. ---

Cheers Kaboom will definitely watch this later. One of my enduring memories of him was when he was fighting an overly hyped nervous energy pent up James Thompson in Pride while Alex was just standing there all chill and relaxed and then KOed him in something like 10 seconds.
