Mercer fought once in three years afterwards and Akinwande didn't fight for a period of about 15 months, but his stock collapsed in the interim. If I were a legitimate pro fighter, I wouldn't want to be in an MMA match with someone who had it, personally, a hundred times more so than if I were a boxer. If you cut Aleks and you end up on the ground, that blood is going to be all over you. Ray Mercer and Henry Akinwande are both pro fighters who tested positive for Hep B.
