Affliction CANCELLED!!!!

Sucks!!!!

Guess its Strikforce and UFC 101 that I will be ordering!

definitely sucks, but, i dont blame them.

They lost buys by having barnett out, and honestly, unless lashley was gonna do it, I wouldnt have ordered it.

They'll probably try for an october date

Thats the thing. I dont think there will be another event.

They have Fedor under contract for 1 more fight, so Im leaning towards they will have 1 more event marketed for him.

They could release him from the contract, but I doubt it, or, possibly a deal involving UFC somehow.

At this point who knows

Honestly, I seriously doubt there will be another event. They may have him under contract for 1 more fight, but there really are no more viable guys that could be marketed as posing a threat to him.
Josh was it and now his reputation is tarnished.

I think they give the UFC the right to negotiate a contract with Fedor and then in essence sell his right to them.

They just cannot continue to pay over 2 million to fighters while only getting 100K PPV buys.

I am reading from some fighters associated with guys who were fighting that they are closing up shop.

King Mo also called into a radio show and advised that no one is getting paid now.

Yeah I agree with most of that.

Im not sure if Affliction the clothing line will end up closed, but, I would think unless Lashley accepts a fight against him, Affliction's PPV's are done. Lashley is the only guy I think people care about seeing him fight outside of UFC

This is almost the same problem that closed EliteXC...bad businessmanship...although, Affliction had better fights/fighters, they still put it all into Fedor without having a backup plan incase he lost/got hurt/etc. That wasnt the case here, but, similar.

I think Affliction is done also. Time to go be a T Shirt company again. At least now we'll get to Brett Rogers and hopefully Fedor in the UFC now.

It's just been announced that Affliction has folded and is going back to being a clothing sponsor for the ufc.
