UFC Bans Affliction as Fighter Sponsor?

its beginning to look like dana white and the ufc are becoming the nazis of mma.

sorry mmamark, but that’s a ridiculous statement (not only ridiculous but it belittles what the nazi’s actually did).

Look at all sports and sponsors, they all do it.  i.e. shoes, nike, ect… THe Nfl wouldn’t let the canadian football league do that? does that make them nazi’s or good buisness?  Does McDonalds let Taco Bell sell food at their establisment?  It’s as common as breathing is for us.

dana white is a petty little girl.  dana white can’t stand the fact that someone’s actually standing up to him and the ufc and as a result, they’re doing everything they can to punish couture. 

this lawsuit just shows white and the ufc’s true colors.  they’re the mma equivalent of don king.  they’re bullies in the truest sense of the word and will disregard friendship and loyalty over the almighty dollar.

People are so quick to hate Zuffa because they’re business-minded.  In the NBA, players can’t even wear headbands and wristbands unless it’s the NBA brand.  What would the UFC look like with a fighter coming to the ring wearing a big pink ‘PrideFC’ t-shirt?  If Affliction is getting into actually putting on fight promotions, then it’s the same thing.

fayceoff, u make too much sense… lol.  Hmm isn’t it funny the two biggest names to speak out vs UFC have hollywood aspirations??!!!  Funny that once a person get’s a hollywood agent, all of a sudden they have a problem with the org that raised them to superstars even though their record is poor??!!!  yet zuffa and white are the evil ones… hmmm. odd.

answer: NBA PLAYERS have the players association and get compensated fairly in regards to revenues generated by the league.

answer: NFL, McDdonalds,Taco Bell have all set precedents early on. The UFC is now making these rules & regulations which were never a part of the grass roots foundation of the UFC. The change towards becoming more brand protectors rather then maintaining an open forum of represenation within the UFC leaves a feeling of corporate coldness. The UFC differs from other organizations in many ways..too many for listing..i should really get back to work..Dana has press conferences uses words like “friend” “hollywod agents” etc. when in fact he represents a corporate business with no room for friends.

Affliction had the opportunity to become a UFC business partner for the long haul, but in the end they decided to start their own fight league.  I doubt neither Affliction nor the UFC care about their parting of ways as much as the people who post on this site.  The business world is not a place for the faint of heart or people who do not want to make waves or tough decisions.

Affliction would never be top brand in UFC. We all know its Tapout. If Randy wants to start his own fight league? so be it. they shouldnt expect there compitition to keep them around. UFC fighters never go into the ring sponsored by any other fight league. Affliction was just clothing, once they officialy became another fight league they should be thankfull that ufc jump started them. Personaly I would like to see a super league were your sponsor was the league your from. All fighters unit. Who has the best fighters?
