Dana White recently had some choice words for Affliction VP Tom Atencio, referring to him as simply a “T-shirt guy” and expressing disdain for the clothing company exec. Nonetheless, Atencio is not taking things too personally. “Apparently (to White), we’re a T-shirt company. Where does that comes from? I think it’s just business. I completely understand. Business is business, and he’s protecting his”, noted Atencio on TAGG radio.

The two brands, UFC and Affliction, both have shows scheduled this Saturday night.
