... it by themselves, but that was what we were able to confirm with our sources. Ngo also points out that the last time we saw an Affliction shirt on a fighter was when Georges St. Pierre sported his newest shirt (which I purchased two weeks ago) at UFC 79 last month. No fighters had any Affliction gear on at UFC 80 and I have to say that I can’t recall seeing one at UFC Fight Night 12 on Wednesday night either. Touch of gloves to our friends at Cage Potato for the find.
