Affliction held a press conference yesterday, outlining new additions to their company. As we reported earlier, Andre Arlovski has signed for the promotion.Yesterday we reported that Donald Trump was going to announce an affiliation with the company (See here for original story: http://mmatrivia.blogspot.com/2008/06/donald-trump-to-announce-affliction.html) Now we have the full announcement.
Trump is acting as an equity partner to the organization. He will have a say in anything that goes on in the company, and will provide a great deal of financial support.
Trump announced that he will be looking to bring Tito Ortiz into the organization. Ortiz has left the UFC and is currently a free agent. He has a friendship with Trump after starring on the reality TV show, The Apprentice, where he competed against other celebrities to win a job with Trump.
Tito has not made any sort of announcement as to who he will be fighting for in the future, but could prove invaluable to Affliction's roster.
