The California State Athletic Commission won't be taking action against former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko for fighting in Russia while serving a suspension.
Despite currently serving a three-year suspension for a failed drug test, Alexander Shlemenko is booked to face Vyacheslav Vasilevsky at M-1 Challenge 64 in February -- and the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC), which issued the suspension, won't be taking action against him.
"We don’t have jurisdiction over there, and I don’t plan to take any action on someone who’s fighting beyond on our jurisdiction," CSAC Executive Director Andy Foster told MMAjunkie.
