Complete B.S. Tapout is married right now to the UFC and this seems like its corporate favoritisms and the UFC is just blocking tapout's competition.

I said before the UFC should make their own apparel clothing exclusively for their fighters to wear them.Why let tapout become a Multi-Million dollar company off of UFC?
The UFC should actually give a percent of it T-shirts sales to its fighters something they don't do right now.
WWE does this yes pro wrestling's Vince Mcmahon doesn't even try to pull this shit like {Dana White is doing with its fighters} with his wrestlers.

Dana White is so greedy, but what he doesn't realize he could be making tons of money off of T-shirts sales alone but the problem is he would have to share some of the money with the fighters..

Once again, this is from CAGEPOTATO...not exactly known for the accuracy of their "reporting."

I wouldn't get too worked up until it's verified by a more reliable source.

Hmm, I actually agree with rivethead for once.

Lets wait for a real news source to report on this before getting excited. As somebody already said, Stallone had a very arranged interview wearing an Affliction shirt at the last UFN, so already their theory seems to not hold water.

Also, the commentary from the blog was completely and totally retarded, so I have my doubts about the source.

ahhh....my bad. Once Stallone hit the mic I had to change the channel. I can't stand hearing that guy talk. It's like nails on a chalk board for me. Can you imagine him at a bar trying to pick up chicks....

of course i just dropped $65 on a GSP Affliction shirt...

THis is just good business.. No one with any kind of business sense would allow their fighters to wear gear manufactured by a company that wants to compete with them. That would be like letting McDonalds employees wear a Wendy's uniform to work.

Can't bask the UFC for this... smart business move.

Hmm... No more goth shirts everywhere? gee that sucks...

Anywayz if they are starting a fight promotion then it makes perfect sense for the UFC to ban them. You don't support the competition in business unless you get a piece of the pie so to speak.
