Kajan Johnson is involved in two different groups that advocate for fighters’ rights but have two different end goals. So what?
Johnson, a UFC lightweight, recently joined Project Spearhead as interim vice president. Project Spearhead is a new effort to unionize UFC and Bellator fighters launched by UFC women’s bantamweight Leslie Smith earlier this month.
Johnson has been part of the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association (MMAFA) for years. The MMAFA, on the other hand, does not want to unionize — it only wants to create a trade association, a group that does not have collective bargaining power.
