UFC: Affliction Done, Now UFC Sponsor

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/...9221&zoneid=13

In a sea change for the promotional landscape of mixed martial arts, Affliction has agreed to cease promoting fights and become an official sponsor of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports first reported the news on Friday afternoon, and a UFC official confirmed the report to MMAWeekly.com.

A joint announcement between the Las Vegas-based promotion and California-based clothing maker is expected soon.

Few details about the deal are known, but the popular clothing brand could be seen on Zuffa fighters as soon as Aug. 8, when UFC 101 lands in Philadelphia.

A similar deal was first proposed last October after the postponement of Affliction’s second event, “Day of Reckoning.” Executives from the UFC and Affliction met in secret in Las Vegas and offered to take Affliction on as a sponsor and co-branded apparel maker in exchange for ceasing to promote fights. Affliction executives rejected the offer after a fiery confrontation between co-founder Todd Beard and UFC co-owner Lorenzo Ferttita.

The fate of fighters marooned by Affliction’s cancellation of its third show, “Trilogy,” is unknown at this time.

I hope that means Fedor will soon be in the UFC

think of the hype UFC will get if they have a Fedor vs lesner fight they can say who is the best heavyweight mma fighter? ,most of us know it is Fedor, but Brock would have a chance to beat him imo. I think it would be the biggest fight in ufc history just because the hype it would get

unless fedor wants to be a dick and goes to Dream or something.

I have a feeling that Forrest Griffin is going to get the upset over Silva

I think he felt he had something to prove after his last fight, and he did. u can talk about fedor, brock, st.Pierre, but when it comes to the best in mma only one name can be talked about SILVA
