In a story first reported by Yahoo Sports, Affliction Entertainment has not only canceled next Saturday’s event but has also ceased all promotional activities. The story has subsequently been confirmed by numerous sources, and apparently a deal is to quickly fall in place that will see Affliction become a brand sponsor of its rival promotion, the UFC.
To say it has been a crazy week for Affliction would be a massive understatement. In a period of three days, they have gone from losing one of their main event fighters to a failed drug test, scrambling to find a replacement, canceling the entire card, ceasing all promotional activities, and now apparently reaching a deal with the UFC – which has hinted at planning a press conference next Friday where this will no doubt be a major conversation piece. Furthermore, this leaves us with a few more unanswered questions, what happens to all of the fighters under contract, and what happens to all of those Affliction Trilogy t-shirts??
