LAS VEGAS – UFC parent company Zuffa LLC made headlines earlier this month when it announced a new accident-insurance policy for the 350 or so fighters under its umbrella.
The move was not only seen as measure of its commitment to protecting the health and safety of its fighters both in and of the cage, but a strong counter to talks of unionization.
Today, UFC president Dana White took a cue from former light-heavyweight
champion Quinton Jackson to express his openness to the idea of a
pension fund for retired fighters.
