Affliction will cease MMA operations and will begin sponsoring UFC events.

After promoting two critically acclaimed but financially disastrous mixed martial arts cards, Affliction on Friday first canceled its pay-per-view card scheduled for Aug. 1 and then opted to get out of the promotional business.

Affliction released a statement Friday evening in which it announced “a collaboration with the UFC.” It confirmed that it will cease operations as a fight promoter and that its clothing division will become a UFC sponsor.

Yeah I read the samething on MMAJunkie. I think everybody knew that Affliction was going to fail. But it's good news if your a UFC fan, cuz it helps the Fedor situation out.

Fedor is managed by complete and total morons. So it wont really help that much. Fedor will never be in the UFC it seems.
