Affliction’s Holy War
Posted by Dave Walsh on 20th July 2008
On July 19th, Affliction, the company known for its rather gaudy clothing line launched a Holy War against the world of Mixed Martial Arts, the UFC in particular, led by Megadeth and the world’s best heavyweights. While it wasn’t their intention originally to jump right in to rivaling the UFC head-to-head, it was UFC that immediately fired back planning their own show with easily the best pound for pound fighter in the world, Anderson Silva headlining. Affliction Banned looked a lot like their clothing looks: rough around the edges, disorganized and not for everybody. The card that they assembled was epic in proportions, with three huge heavyweight fights, featuring a former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion, four former UFC Heavyweight Champions and a former IFL Heavyweight standout. This was undoubtedly huge.
