Former welterweight king Georges St. Pierre is joining forces with four other UFC stars to launch the Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association (MMAAA) in hopes of securing better treatment for both past and present UFC fighters.
The formation of the MMAAA was announced during a conference call on Wednesday. St. Pierre, Donald Cerrone, Tim Kennedy, Cain Velasquez and T.J. Dillashaw will serve as the five-man board for the association. Meanwhile, ex-Bellator MMA CEO Bjorn Rebney will fill the role of advisor.
Today we are proud to announce the official launch of the Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association.
