American Fighter has designed the exclusive walkout tee for Matt Hamill, as he headlines the main event of this Saturday’s Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale with Jon Jones. Both Jones and Hamill have thus far made successful transitions from primarily a wrestling background to become well rounded dynamic fighters. Hamill has proven to be just as dangerous on his feet as he is on the ground. His new walkout tee is 100% cotton and features his name, nickname and the American Fighter logo on the front. The t-shirt will only be available in limited quantities.

Joe “the Southside Strangler ” Brammer is making his UFC debut of a 4 fight deal at The Ultimate Fighter Finale on December 5th against Mark Bocek. “The Southside Strangler” is an exciting lightweight prospect who has yet to be defeated in 8 professional fights. Based around German themed artwork, Hoelzer Reich has teamed up with Brammer to deliver a walkout tee for his debut at the TUF 10 finale in which he will face Mark Bocek.

Once again, Jones will be sporting a signature series tee from Silver Star as he walks out to the octagon. Self described as “hardcore Christian“, Jones’ shirt features religious imagery on the front and back of the shirt.

In a story first reported by Yahoo Sports, Affliction Entertainment has not only canceled next Saturday’s event but has also ceased all promotional activities. The story has subsequently been confirmed by numerous sources, and apparently a deal is to quickly fall in place that will see Affliction become a brand sponsor of its rival promotion, the UFC.

To say it has been a crazy week for Affliction would be a massive understatement. In a period of three days, they have gone from losing one of their main event fighters to a failed drug test, scrambling to find a replacement, canceling the entire card, ceasing all promotional activities, and now apparently reaching a deal with the UFC – which has hinted at planning a press conference next Friday where this will no doubt be a major conversation piece.  Furthermore, this leaves us with a few more unanswered questions, what happens to all of the fighters under contract, and what happens to all of those Affliction Trilogy t-shirts??

Silver Star Casting company has released the new Jon “Bones” Jones combat collection t-shirt. Staying precisely in tune with other tees in the collection, the Jon Jones tee comes highly detailed with gold accents on the Silver Star lettering. Check out the Silver Star website for more details.

It seems like possibly one of the most successful clothing companies in MMA history is starting to bite off more than it can chew.

You can normally see the Affliction fashion show at any UFC sporting event. Not anymore. Dana White has prohibited Affliction to be worn by it’s contracted Athletes. Elite XC has followed suit. Can you see the trend?

Fiveouncesofpain.com reports that an event scheduled for July 19th between Fedor Emelianenko and former UFC title-holder Tim Sylvia, has also been canned.

It’s time Affliction play in their own backyard and continue making cash selling $60 tees and sponsoring awesome athletes instead of biting the hands that feed them.

That’s Gymtop’s 2 cents.

Update

It looks like Affliction will officially become fight promoters. Now they can showcase their clothing at their own events.
