Should Sergei Dzindziruk (currently #5) remain rated, as his last fight was on the 1st of November ‘08?

I voted to the pool, because I haven't heard a peep from him.

He's trying to get out of his contract with Universum, who are currently blocking him from getting fights. I think in this instance he should be given an extension in the same way we gave one to Vasquez. He's actively been trying to get one himself, but they're due to hear it in court in Germany in late December/early January

I understand where Jaz is coming from & Dzindziruk has been trying to get fights, but we don't know how long it will be before this happens. His former promoters stepped it & blocked a potential Williams fight without them, & a lot of promoters won't want to get involved with him until the issues are sorted

They will be in court over it at the start of the year at the absolute latest. I don't feel in this instance that waiting 2 months max is going to be a major problem.

I agree.

[Nameless]

He has proven enough to remain plus this legal dispute will be settled quite soon.

Yeah but how long before he fights again?

Well, he's been in training & was ready to step in for Williams, so I don't think it will be too far off. I just think he deserves the benefit of the doubt.

The vote to remove Sergei Dzindziruk was drawn at 2 - 2. Since Jaz is the manager & voted for him to remain he stays in for now.
