Quote of the Day: Dana White Talks New Deal With Affliction

Mma_u_white_576_medium

Dana White is quick to offer praise concerning his former rivals and newly made partners:

"We are excited about the return of Affliction to the UFC and look forward to seeing our fighters once again walk into the octagon wearing the Affliction brands," UFC president Dana White stated. "Affliction is an innovator of mixing fashion with this sport, and we are looking forward to working together to promote the sport."

Affliction, in turn and with no surprise, now shares the rosy sentiment:

"Our brand is synonymous with the 'Live Fast' approach to life, and UFC is the perfect venue for us to market our brand," Affliction co-founder Eric Foss stated. "We have come to an agreement with the UFC, which we feel will be the best for the sport and will help the UFC continue delivering the highest caliber of fights."

Twitter_button_right_mediumFor what it is worth, the rejoinder to the 'Live Fast' motto played itself out quite well.

Now I've seen everything

First came Kimbo on TUF.

Now, in one day, we see Affliction fold their third PPV, quit the fight promotion business, and re-enter the UFC fold.

It’s Dana’s world, we just live in it.

Seriously, if someone had predicted the past month of UFC/MMA news, you would have called bullshit. The world has moved very quickly recently, and I wonder where it’s all leading.

Just like when WCW folded.

Has the WWF’s product gotten better?

He can get 4, NOT 5.

Yes, that is directly relatable.

Did the NFL get better when they merged with the AFL?

Did the NBA get better when they merged with the ABA?

Glad to know that we will be seeing something different besides Tapout shirts on the fighters from now on. Its good to have a variety. Has anyone heard that the new Tekken 6 game will be featuring Tapout clothes?

by Bandaka on Jul 25, 2009 2:08 AM EDT reply actions  

Except

Tekken 6 has projectiles. That is fucking st000000pid.

I wore a Fedor Affliction shirt out tonight

in the hopes that someone might know who he was and say something to me about him or the Affliction Trilogy debacle. Alas, no one said a word. I was just another douchebag.

Get it together

On the plus side, Dana said on ESPN radio that Dr. Phil helped him mend fences with Kimo Tortiz.

Thats it

now I’m convince that we need to see an MMA battle between Dr. Phil and Oprah, Dana, if you’re listening, this is how you get that group of people you’ve been looking for in the mainstream.
