Couture: The time is now for a fighter’s union
Randy Couture: “”If there is a time, it is probably now for the fighters to unite and get together and form a union or a guild or something along those lines to insure minimum pay…”
Some fighters and media have mumbled about the need for a fighter’s union, but not significant action has been taking toward that action. Recently several ex-UFC athletes filed law suits against the UFC, but one former great, Randy Couture, believes a union is necessary and something that should be done sooner than later:
Given the current climate and everything that is bubbling just beneath surface, MMA legend Randy Couture believes that it is the right time for the fighters to band together and start a union.
“If there is a time, it is probably now for the fighters to unite and get together and form a union or a guild or something along those lines to insure minimum pay, 401Ks, health insurance, some of those things that unions and guilds tend to do,” Couture told MMAFighting.com recently at the World MMA Awards in Las Vegas.
