Several MMA fighters’ associations were created in the United States recently, and longtime veteran Vitor Belfort feels that a fighter’s union could be the answer for the athletes' problems.
Associations like MMAFA, MMAAA and PFA have different ideas and focuses, and Belfort, while admitting he doesn't know what any of them is specifically fighting for, points to a union as the solution.
"I’m a smart guy, and the smartest thing in the world is to not side (with something) if you don’t know who's the leader and what are his motivations,” Belfort, who is pointed constantly by fellow Brazilian fighters as one of the best men to lead an entity, told MMA Fighting of the existing associations.
