CHAMPIONING FIGHTERS’ RIGHTS AND WELL-BEING
“The MMAFA is the only organization that has looked out for fighter’s rights since the inception of MMA. ” – Jon Fitch
MMAFA Milestones
2009
Inception
The Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association (MMAFA) was founded in 2009 to advocate for the rights of MMA fighters, focusing on better pay, benefits, and protections.
December, 2014
Anti-Trust Lawsuit
In December 2014, the MMAFA supported a class-action antitrust lawsuit against the UFC and the promotion of monopolistic practices that harmed fighter earnings and career opportunities.
2017
Ali-Act Extension
In 2017, the MMAFA pushed to extend the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act to MMA, aiming to improve contractual rights and protect fighters from exploitative practices.
Present Day
Ongoing Suit
In 2023, the ongoing UFC antitrust lawsuit, supported by the MMAFA, garnered renewed attention as it moved toward a potential trial, which could reshape how fighters are compensated and promote more equitable contracts.
“There’s a lot that fighters don’t have a say in. No rights on pay, on fights, on decisions whether or not they want to negotiate a contract. That’s not right because we are part of the success and as fighters we’re not getting credit for that.” -KEN SHAMROCK
