What's the name of the Pride fighter with a tattoo of the grim reaper holding a baby on his back? I think I heard that he is either in the russian mob or has ties to them.
UFC 70 hyped the shit out of the cro cop fight. Too bad the fight had to end like that.
EDIT: For anyone that wants to know what A. Emelianenko's tats mean:
Right arm: Cathedral with five domes: symbolizes five years of imprisonment, which he served for an armed robbery.
Shoulders: Stars: “symbolize person’s honor and dignity, they mean that one lives according to his traditions and principles”.
Right shoulder: cobweb: Aleksander did not explain it’s meaning other than say that contrary to what has been suggested by some, it does not have anything to do with mafia. In Russian prisons, tattoos using this symbol typically denote drug addiction.
Left shoulder: Russian script.
Left forearm: Half cat’s head, half skull: “Homo homini lupus est.” Translated: Man is a wolf to his fellow-man.
Back: Grim Reaper holding a baby: according to Aleksander it’s a tattoo of Holy Mother, and that it means “absolutely nothing”, he just liked the design.
Back: "
Gott Mit Uns", meaning “God is with us” in German: for Aleksander, it’s a symbol of revival. This tattoo caused a significant controversy, since this slogan was written on belt buckles of
Nazi Germany soldiers.
Knees: Stars: symbolize that the owner will never be brought to his knees.
Pirate tattoo: stands for article 167 of Russian Criminal Code: “armed robbery”.
“Fortune favors the bold” in German: self-explanatory.
