Affliction Clothing is an American clothing
manufacturer and mixed martial arts promoter based in Signal Hill,
California.
Affliction was launched in August 2005. It is
co-owned by Tom Atencio, Todd Beard, Eric Foss, and Clifton Chason and
originated as a spin-out from Foss and Chason's Digitial Ink Creative
Services.
Affliction's clothing line includes t-shirts,
polo shirts, thermals, and hoodies. Their style has been described as "skull
and crossbone inspired". Many of Affliction's shirts bear the logo of many
of the world's top ranked MMA fighters, including:
Georges St. Pierre,
Randy Couture, and
Quinton Jackson.
Its products are also worn and promoted by top boxers, such as current
undisputed middleweight champion of the world, Kelly Pavlik, Ring magazine
and IBO light welterweight champion Ricky Hatton, and by former undisputed
middleweight champion of the world and hall-of-famer Bernard Hopkins.
Affliction's clothing line is also often seen being worn by WWE's Matt Hardy
and Randy Orton.
In 2008, Affliction became a mixed martial
arts fight promoter with the announcement of its event Affliction Banned.
The card will feature many of MMA's top Heavyweight fighters. The event is
notable for the return of champion of the now defunct Pride FC promotion,
Fedor Emelianenko, and an expected $3.5
million of fighters purses. The ring announcer for the event will be Michael
Buffer. Donald Trump recently purchased a significant equity stake in
Affliction MMA.
