...and it's VERY appropriate!
It was announced on Friday's "Inside MMA" that the upcoming debut of the Affliction Brand fight promotion will be named "Banned". The title appears to be a tongue-in-cheek jab at the UFC based on the company's recent ban on the popular brand being worn by fighters at UFC events.
"Affliction: Banned" is scheduled to take place on July 19th in Dallas, TX with a main event featuring former UFC Champion Tim Sylvia taking on the world's top Heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko. In addition, Matt Lindland has confirmed his participation on the show, a card also rumored to involve names like Josh Barnett, Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Ben Rothwell, and Andrei Arlovski.
Damn! One hell of a rumored card... all that's missing is CroCop and Big Nog and it's the entire division.

If the names hold up, it will be amazing.
The overall quality of the UFC cards leaves a lot to desired if you arent a reality TV freak and their promotion.
