No Holds Barred: Bob Carson on Affliction's Demise and UFC Deal 

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman speaks with our correspondent Bob Carson. Bob is also the host of the Carson's Corner podcast.

In a lengthy discussion, we focus on the cancellation of the August 1 Affliction mixed martial arts pay-per-view, the subsequent collapse of the Affliction mixed martial arts promotion, the renewal of an Affliction Clothing-UFC deal, and the implications of these developments. As usual, we stand up for the rights of the fighters, and take a highly critical view of the machinations of these promotions and the direction they have taken mixed martial arts in America.

The No Holds Barred theme song is called "The Heist", by Ian Carpenter.

Just to Carson's comment on all the Affliction contractors entering zuffa. From what I know, Gegard Mousasi and a number of other fighters are still contracted with Japan based promotions, so this should keep them out of slavery. Belfort could be the exception.

Man the sport is corrupt. When will people get it's not good to have slime balls running the sport, or running anything.
