Question

What are the pros and cons of an MMA Fighters Union?

Answer 1

I don't think collective bargaining is a useful tool for fighters as MMA is truly a solo sport.   I think keeping fighter safe in the cage (as much as possible in full contact combat) and looking out for their long term health and wellness is a cool idea.  

I think perhaps this may be the job of an association, that allows membership for current and future fighters.  The association could charge a membership and provide needed services such as health, life and disability insurance specifically to their members (MMA fighters).

Not a bad concept.

Answer 2

I think this will lead to more illegal immigrants, and you know what that means, more croc shoes. I don't know if anyone else has noticed but ever since the immigrant scare more and more people have been wearing crocs, I think there is something going here that needs to be investigated. Dumb mexicans and there cheap shoes.

Answer 3

I don't know if it would ever work, because there is a huge disparity in the amount of money different companies can shell out.

I also feel that fighting for the UFC or any other is a personel choice. no one is holding a gun to their heads, and also the terms of the agreement are spelled out in the contract, which no one forces them to sign.
