The MMA Athletes Association (MMAAA) unveiled itself to the community last week when Georges St-Pierre and four other UFC athletes currently under contract (Donald Cerrone, T.J. Dillashaw, Tim Kennedy and Cain Velasquez) joined former Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney for a press conference announcing the arrival of the answer to what they feel is UFC mistreatment of fighters. That’s right, Bjorn Rebney—the man who took Eddie Alvarez and Hector Lombard into years of contract limbo—is a part of this effort.
During and immediately following the press conference, a litany of fighters could be found on social media making inquiries directly to GSP and the other attached fighters.
