That is not exactly the reason they were not there. They both left for more money. At the time the UFC did not pay better than Affliction.
Sylvia and Arlovski got payed a fuck load in Affliction, the UFC wouldn't/couldn't match their offer.

Sylvia made 800K for one fight, Arlovski made over 2 million in 2 fights.
