  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Tatuaje sponsors MMA?

So I was watching some mma battles with a few buddies and noticed a fighter whose trunks had the tatuaje mark on them.. I can't remember for sure what the fighter's name was or when the fight took place (a little too under the influence) but I do remember the shorts and come to think of it I think I've seen fighters wearing the tatuaje mark in boxing as well.

What's the story does Pete have his own MMA team? or is he just a fight fan?

Also, The Mark is a flur de Lys.... which is also a logo for Affliction clothing company, which sponsors several of the fighters, as well as numerous rock bands, including Ozzy! Wonder how I know that!! hehe.

As for the thread on another board. That was history and does not need to be brought up on here!

That's why I like this place. We don't have any of those keyboard warriors that those OTHER places have. Like I said I only read page six and I think I got a real good feel for what the thread was like and that's all I needed to read.

Edit: Also I apologize if I brought up something that everyone wishes to be forgotten in the past.

On a side note, Donald Trump has signed on with Affliction to help get MMA more out in the open. One of his hotels in Los Angeles is having a PPV event Saturday with Fedor Emelianenko fighting Tim Silvia. I am seriously considering ordering that fight.

That was an interesting occurrence. I was shocked by the way the whole thing came down, but not terribly surprised. On a positive note, that's why Pete is here now, as well as a few other boards!

I think it says a lot about the retailer who choose to take his business dealings with his supplier and air it publicly.. good on ya Pete! you don't need those bums to give you business.

I think you may be right, the fighters I saw were most likely sponsored by Affliction Clothing.. but can ya blame me for thinking Tatuaje?

I just finished the whole thread and it really made me sad. I think we should let that thread die and not try to bring it up and make it a big deal. Last thing we need is something like that. Remember this thread was about MMA!

Btw I'm pretty sure Bill is right about the logo being for Affliction. The last UFC Unleased I watched I remember thinking the same thing then someone put a shirt on with the symbol and affliction written under it.

So does Pete actually sponsor a UFC fighter, or did someone just see a random fleur-de-lis and thought maybe Pete had something to do with it?

Pete has nothing to do with the Affliction line of clothing. For anyone that knows me, knows 99% of the time I am not in uniform, I am in an Affliction shirt! hehe.

Here is the link to the Afflction Clothing line. They incorporate the Flur de Lys in a lot of their shirts.

I know Pete has a few friends that he was considering sponsoring, but I am not sure how that is going. He also spent some time working out with them, not training to fight in the UFC. Hell, that is an excellent way to keep in shape.

Personally, I can't wait for the UFC Banned fights this weekend. There are some great fights on the card!...

DUDE!!!!, did you read the whole thread? OMG...those guys flamed on Pete. I hate that kind of Mob Mentality. I've found it on a couple of boards and just don't like Keyboard Warriors.
There was a lot more than what was in that thread. It's a dead horse that probably didn't need to be linked.
