Affliction started their own fight league. That transformed them from a clothing line to competition for the UFC.
Dana is a shrewd enough business man to know you don't let your competition's logo walk down to your octagon on the front of half your fighter's chests.
I would be suprised if GSP moved over to Affliction. He is probably losing some money; but he's still making well into the millions with the UFC and being in the UFC provides a significantly greater chance to land more mainstream sponsorship deals.
Over the last year the UFC has landed Budweiser and Harley Davidson as sponsors. GSP is probably the most marketable fighter in the UFC.
The financial opportunities to work with major sponsors makes anything GSP might be losing with Affliction look like chump change.
