affliction-banned "mma chat"

Notice, no one's been sporting Affliction in the last couple of UFC's?....I think the last time I saw it was GSP sporting the Affliction Gi and spandex for the Hughes fight. He wasn't even sporting anything for the Serra fight. I guess Affliction has moved onto bigger and better things than paying the other organizations' fighters to wear their clothing. I like and wear Affliction clothing myself and won't judge the "Banned" show until I see it. The fights do look pretty good.
I tend to gravitate more towards the WEC and UFC anyway....The others just don't have it together yet. I haven't seen a lot of the offshoots, but EliteXC looks more like a WWE situation with the runway. The fighter comes through a curtain of rain....then goes through a gauntlet of dancers (who dance cheesily between fights as well)....then finally to the ring. The announcers aren't too great and it has a hokey feel to it. This fluff may appeal to others, but I like the more boxing-like feel to the WEC and UFC.

you don't see Affliction anymore because the brand has been banned by the UFC, WEC and also by EliteXC once they became more then a clothing line and have there own promotion now.

That's what I meant by "moving onto bigger and better things" causing their subsequent banning. It seems like a big risk for them, but I guess we'll see what they turn out on the show level.
I am also interested in seeing what happens with the fighters themselves. Looking at the fight card, there are some decent names there...I guess this will affect their ability to re-sign with the other organizations.
curious, tonights ultimate fighter, there was a blurb about someone getting kicked out of the ufc for doing something. anyone catch that? who is getting kicked out and why? i know tito is going to the elite mma group or something like that, but who is getting kicked out?
