The team is led labor lawyer 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’ll be governed exclusively by fighters, but It is the fighters that will control their own futures. The PFA has also obtained the support of NBAPA, NFLPA, NHLPA, the MLBPA and MLSPU. I’ve been blessed to represent elite athletes for almost 40 decades, and think more than ever in the benefits of collective bargaining to enhance and improve terms and conditions of employment, That is why I fully support and encourage efforts of their fighters to organize a union to represent them.” Said current NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr. So as to form a marriage UFC fighters are independent contractors and would need to challenge that status legally.
