A new week brings us a new episode of Fox”s FIGHT GAME with Mike Straka and his panel of experts. In round 1, Affliction Entertainment vice president, Tom Atencio fields questions from the guys on such topics as Day of Reckoning, Golden Boy, why Barnett is fighting Gilbert Yvel, Babalu, and much more.

Round 1

(Rounds 2 & 3 videos after the jump)

After round 1, move on to round 2 because that’s where it starts to get real interesting as Atencio takes the whole panel to task and denies that if it weren’t for the UFC they would be as successful. He also says they would still be involved in the fight game if the UFC never existed. Clearly, Atencio is borderline delusional at this point.

Round 2 Atencio defends the Affliction brand’s position in the MMA world.

Tom Atencio actually says the ban from the UFC (The UFC will not allow fighters to wear Affliction clothing to the fights) has HELPED Affliction! Come on now Tom, no one really believes that.

Round 3 The panel discusses a recent somewhat “controversial” interview with UFC co-owner, Lorenzo Fertitta.

Editor’s Note: There’s usually 5 rounds on Fight Game but this week it must not have been a “championship panel” because there were only 3 rounds. :)

One thought on “Tom Atencio unhappy on Fox’s FIGHT GAME”
  1. Straka wasn’t feeling well so the show tapped out early!! Tom is a good guy i hope he succeeds in the fight game! But it’s hard not to label Affliction a fight company they way they are promoting them selves!!
