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 union of fighters, but it’ll be governed solely by fighters, it’s the fighters who will control their own futures. The PFA has also received assistance from the MLBPA, NFLPA, NHLPA, NBAPA and MLSPU. I’ve been privileged to represent elite athletes for nearly 40 years, and think more than ever in the benefits of collective bargaining to secure and improve terms and conditions of employment, that’s the reason why I fully support and promote efforts of their fighters to organize a union to represent them.” Said NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr. In order to form a marriage UFC fighters are independent contractors and would have to challenge that standing.
