    Rebney made an interesting point as to why they are not identifying as a union.

    Basically, since they are classified as independent contractors, the UFC would tie them up in court, since unions are for employees.

    An association, like SAG, I think, can operate as independent contractors, skipping lengthy court battles over their identification.

    I would like to hear Jeff Boris respond to that.

    Remember when MMAFA said they were going to introduce their board? That didn't happen. Looks like the fighters are backing MMAAA instead.
