The team is headed labour attorney Lucas Middlebrook, by baseball agent Jeff Borris and economist Andrew Zimbalist. Here is what the press release had to say. “PFA won’t just be a marriage of fighters, but it will be governed exclusively by fighters, but It is the fighters who will control their own futures. The PFA has also obtained the support of NBAPA, NFLPA, NHLPA, the MLBPA and MLSPU. I have been blessed to represent elite athletes for almost 40 decades, and believe more than ever in the benefits of collective bargaining to secure and enhance terms and conditions of employment, that’s the reason why I fully support and promote efforts of the fighters to arrange a union to represent them.” Said current NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr. In order to form a union, UFC fighters are independent contractors and would need to challenge that standing legally.
