Affliction will now be back sponsoring fighters in the UFC. Could this bring Fedor as well?

Does this mean their douchebag T-shirt division is going out of business too?

Maybe, however this isn't necessarily what is preventing Fedor from fighting in the UFC, it's more of a conflict of interest between him and how things are run there.

BTW Affliction owns. It just sucks that douchebags are allowed to buy their clothes, but whatever. They aren't me,I fit the shirts properly and have yet to have someone tell me it sucks to my face.

No. It means that now fighters will be able to wear their gear at UFC events

Correct. Dana White and his offered contracts are. But now with no Affliction, do you really think Fedor will be looking to participate in Sambo tournaments only? Where else is he gonna fight? IMO, Looks it gives Dana the advantage with contract negotiations in the future.

Well to be honest, he could just retire? He's old enough, and done well enough to be able to.

If he does fight in the UFC I think it'll be strictly for money and his fans. I don't know... I would like to see a Fedor/Lesnar fight.

It's just for as much as people talk shit about it, I have yet to ever have anyone say it to my face aka in person, while I'm wearing a shirt. They wouldn't even know if I had anything else Affliction on since the people who bitch about it are most likely referring to their tshirts.

But whatever, to each their own. I think alot of their stuff is grossly overpriced, but I support alot of their fighters.

If Fedor does goes to the UFC I'm sure s Fedor vs Lesner would happen at some point. Wonder if Vitor Belfort is going to go back to the UFC also. The guy awesome when he first came in the UFC but after a couple of losses to Colture he just wasn't the same, still an awesome fighter.
