Less three months after announcing its arrival, the Professional Fighters Association (PFA) is nearing the next step of its ongoing efforts to unionize UFC fighters.
The organization, led by longtime baseball agent Jeff Borris and attorney Lucas Middlebrook, expects to announce an interim executive board comprised of nine current UFC fighters or veterans to lead the PFA "within the month," with the goal being to introduce the executive board during UFC 205 fight week in New York City.
"Those nine individuals are going to be responsible for making policy decisions," Middlebrook, known in MMA circles as the attorney of Nick Diaz, told MMA Fighting on Tuesday.
