UFC President Blasts ‘Scumbag’ Bjorn Rebney’s Involvement in MMA Athletes Association

Once upon a time, Dana White and Bjorn Rebney were figureheads for competing mixed martial arts organizations.

After taking a hiatus following his exit as Bellator MMA CEO, Rebney is still battling White and the Ultimate Fighting Championship, but this time in a different capacity: as an advisor of the newly formed Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association. The group is seeking better treatment and benefits for both past and present UFC fighters. More specifically, the MMAAA is seeking three things: a settlement to more appropriately compensate those who have competed in the UFC; increased revenue sharing and a collective bargaining agreement comparable to what athletes have in other sports.
