Affliction's Beard Claims UFC's White and Fertitta Threatened Him Personally
By: Chad Edward Posted On: October 25, 2008 at 3:32amMMA promotion Affliction’s co-founder Todd Beard has claimed, “[The UFC is] not just threatening [Affliction's business model], they threaten us personally, which is hysterical. Dana White, Lorenzo Fertitta, they are tough guys, old school mafia guys, or wanna-be old school mafia guys.”
Beard made the comment on The Scott Ferrall Show aired on Sirius Satellite Radio.
UFC President Dana White has frequently referred to Beard and Affliction Vice President Tom Atencio as “the T-shirt guys”, goofing on Affliction’s primary business enterprise designing and marketing apparel.
Beard threatened, “Dana White, by the way, the T-shirt guy is gonna fuck your ass up.”
The UFC has not commented publicly on Beard’s claim or threat.
