15 Years Ago Today - Affliction: Banned

[L0ki]

I used to get so excited about these stacked cards back in the day. ufc has turned into netflix, just pump out content and use the brand name

Yeah.

There was something about having product on special occasions that actually made it feel special.

Cranking up the output, in terms of cards, seemed to dilute.

Would've loved to have seen the Affliciton: Trilogy (Fedor vs. Barnett) card.

Why was it called Banned?

not positive. Probably because of Megadeaths involvement?

I really dont remember at all why its called that lol

So I just read that apparently UFC banned Affliction shirts and the brand as a sponsor in the lead up to this card <45>

Good ol' Dana!
