LAS VEGAS — Conor McGregor is just the kind of name that any effort to unionize fighters would need. And "The Notorious" is apparently interested. Just not now.
McGregor intimated Friday at a gym day here that he thinks a fighter association of union would be a good thing. News broke this week that a new group called the Professional Fighters Association (PFA), with the support of big-name labor organizations like the MLBPA and NLFPA, has formed with the goal to earn UFC fighters collective bargaining power.
"It is important to bunch together and support each other," McGregor said.
