Read Helwani's twitter so many good quotes in there. I don't know who the fuck Rebney is but I like him already.
Absolute fucking disgrace how UFC robs these guys blind. Someone actually doing something about it is long overdue.

He used to run Bellator, and he kinda fucked over some fighters there (read up on Zach Light and Eddie Alvarez's situations).Quote:

Also, when you form a union vs a sports entity like the UFC which I think has anti-trust protections, you can also threaten to disband the union and sue as a group, forcing the dispute to go to an arbitrator, who can then "open the books" on the employer to determine what a potential "slicing of the baby" settlement would be. This is a tactic that saved the 2011 NFL season, as soon as the NFLPA did this, the owners of the league caved to some of the players' demands because they wanted no part of their (nepotistic) business doings open to the public.
I do support the lads as the UFC is fucking them over big time, but he's not really the guy to do it IMO. Also the fact there's 3 MMA fighters associations isn't the kind of solidarity you need to force the needle on pay (Reebok), better working conditions (USADA), etc. Look up how the NFL QB Club (an association of 40 of the top paid QBs in the league) was a big factor in the 1987 NFL strike, as not only was there infighting b/t the league and the players, but b/t the players themselves which almost costed the league an entire year.
unless hunt signs off on it, it aint shit.
Cain and GSP are for sure represented by CAA, and I think maybe a few of the other guys might be, too.
