From wikipedia:

Tattoos

Aleksander's tattoos are a constant source of questions from his fans and journalists. Aleksander explained their meaning in his interview on Fedor’s official website.[2]

* Right arm: Cathedral with five domes: symbolizes five years of imprisonment.
* Shoulders: Stars: Symbolize a "career criminal" or Vor v Zakone in Russian (English translation: thief in law).
* Right shoulder: cobweb: Aleksander did not explain its meaning other than saying that contrary to what has been suggested by some, it does not have anything to do with the Mafiya. In Russian prisons, tattoos using this symbol typically denote drug addiction or robbery.
* 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.
* Back: "Gott Mit Uns", meaning “God is with us” in German: for Aleksander, it’s a symbol of revival. This tattoo caused a controversy, since this slogan was written on belt buckles of German soldiers in the Second and Third Reich. For many Russian prisoners the phrase means you are totally opposed to the soviet penal system.[citation needed] This phrase was very popular among prisoners during the 60's and 70's, when the Soviet regime was at its worst.[citation needed]
* Knees: Stars: symbolize that the owner will never be brought to his knees. These tattoos also stirred up controversy, after a picture published on his website revealed a swastika in the middle.[6]
* Pirate tattoo: stands for article 167 of Russian Criminal Code: “armed robbery”.
* “Fortis fortuna adiuvat” Translated: Fortune favors the bold.
* A name on his lower abs (Maybe 'Marina'). Later covered by a tribal tattoo.
* A spider web on scalp.

I watched one or two PRIDE events he fought at. Definitely not up to his brothers level, but he's only like 27, so.

Cheers 4 that Muzz, very interesting.

You'd have to be scared of a man that size with a tattoo on his back of the grim reaper cradling a baby! What a monster!

If Aleksander said to me: "whats 2+2?"
I would reply "whatever you want it to be!"

Wish I had foxtel, I'd actually get this... looks like I'll watch a hacked feed on the net.

Anyway, I'm outta here.... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Rich Franklin is Jim Carreys evil twin!

[muzzington]

I'll definitely be getting 94. I'm glad I didn't spring for 93, because it looks like a disappointment.

Watching UFC 94 live now...

Found an awesome live stream...as good as quality as ive ever seen for a live stream. Even the audio is synced properly!

Cmon GSP!

[Des]

GSP fucking dominated him! Penn is shit!

[muzzington]

That's harsh. This isn't pro wrestling, he deserves more respect than that.

[Des]

Penn didn't even fight the 5th round, he knew he had no answers.

GSP vs Anderson Silva next. December 26 possibly.

A lot of interesting stuff in this blog. The crowd reaction in this clip sounds 10 times louder than it does on PPV.
