And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Oleksiy Oliynyk on the fightpass prelims is a 37 year old Ukrainian heavyweight who is a veteran of KSW, BodogFight, M-1, YAMMA, Bellator AND Oplot.

He has wins over the legendary Mirko CroCop (in november last year), Thiago "Big Monster" Santos (november 2009) and Jeff Monson (June last year).

He also has losses to Chael Sonnen (in 2006), Chris Tuscheher (lol) and Jeff Monson (March 2012).

He is Z-League incarnate.

If i remember correctly he said on the MMARoasted podcast that the treatment was either partially or fully covered on his insurance.

Heres the episode in question

Obamacare! but seriously his insurance does, it also seems like he gets some help from a rare disease group. Unless you are a business mogul or born rich I don't think much people could pay ~440K a year. He would have to be champion to even think about affording it without insurance, not even taking into account taxes.

You got close to getting it and then missed the fact that he's the owner of Oplot and the master of the no gi Ezekiel choke

Rener couldn't wait to figure out what that Oplot submission was. Turns out Oliynyk was choking the dude out with that hold, not just neck cranking.

"It was not a neck crank despite what they announced." - Oliynyk

"It’s actually a position that attacks the diaphragm and makes it very difficult for your opponent to breath." - Oliynyk

"Eventually he was forced to tap due to lack of air. I’m very happy with the win & I look forward to my next bout." -Oliynyk

"I didn’t tap because of any pain in my neck it was the pressure on my chest." -Hamilton confirming what Oliynyk said
