The FIGHTERS are 100% in control of this. The board which Bjorn is NOT on will make all decisions. https://t.co/SxZfJ8RLCz

It all sounded good but not enough substance. #loudnoises

Scratching my head a little bit. I get not putting all your cards out on the table but I feel as though too much went unsaid.

Anything that benefits fighters and fighter health is good. I am watching, reading and absorbing info before making any comments. https://t.co/xO5LBuHmx9

A female presence on the MMAAA board will be a big display of looking for representation and representatives of all UFC fighters #yesImeanme

Can someone ask how an agency will avoid the conflict between interests of represented fighters and the collective interests of fighters

Already talked with @TimKennedyMMA !!!! https://t.co/Jgw7Jkbrdw

I had a fantastic talk w/ @LeslieSmith_GF on the need for associations & unions. Hope all fighters get fair representation across the board.

This sounds too good to be true. I’d break down and cry if I had any emotion left for this game. @TimKennedyMMA @Cowboycerrone
