Affliction Entertainment was an American mixed martial arts (MMA) promotion company created by Affliction Clothing in 2008.[4] The UFC prohibited its fighters from wearing Affliction clothing after learning Affliction was applying to become an MMA fight promoter. Although the promotion company bore the Affliction name, it was run independently of Affliction Clothing.[5]
In July 2009, Affliction announced that it would exit the fight promotion business and that Affliction Clothing would become a UFC sponsor.[1]
