    I'm for any MMA organization that gives UFC a run for thier money. I think Dana White is going to be ther ruin of the UFC. IMO he seems like all he cares about is money and not the betterment of the UFC or MMA. Extreme XC and Affliction look to be pretty good.

    For the most part, I agree, but I think Zuffa's downfall is greed. They're trying to make up for how much they lost rescuing the UFC. They made MMA what it is today (for the most) but they're trying to monopolize. With pay-per-view sales larger than most boxing matches and prize purses at less than 1/3 of boxers, etc. and deals like paying Brock Lestner more than most veterans for a debut, all that extra $$ has to be going somewhere...

    Affliction is showing how the fighters are what makes the sport...not the organization.

    ...I'd like to know what they're paying the fighters.

    UFC vs. Affliction

    I can't remember correctly, but didn't Dana White say that if you're fighting with the UFC, you couldn't wear Affliction clothing. Is that right?

    Is that why there was a fight league developed from Affliction, or perhaps Dana knew that this was in the works and this was his way to try to curb it?

    Just wondering,

    I'm pretty sure it's the latter. You can go back a few UFC's or seasons of TUF and see him wearing Affliction clothing.
