The UFC is making its feelings regarding the possible extension of the Ali Act to MMA very clear.
This week, the world's leading mixed martial arts promotion hired Washington, D.C. firm Farragut Partners to lobby against the new proposed bill that would bring the Ali Act to the sport, according to a release by O'Dwyers PR.
The Muhammad Ali Expansion Act was recently introduced to Congress by Con. MarkWayne Mullin of Oklahoma. Mullin, a former MMA fighter himself, believes the balance of power in the sport leans much more toward promoters than the fighters and it's his desire to even the playing field.
