Thanks for subscribing to my page. Here’s where you can do so, if you haven’t already. On Tuesday, I reported that a new MMA league is on the verge of being announced. This led to me fielding approximately 8456 questions about the league, which was fun. For the record, and I feel like this goes without saying, I have nothing to do with this new venture.
This is really intriguing. I am optimistic if the list of people involved have deep pockets and expertise, that this could work. Even if it does nothing other than put pressure on the UFC to do more to protect their roster from defecting when their contract is up, it would be beneficial for all of MMA. My only initial critique is if this starts to look and sound too complicated. I like the global aspect. But feel like they need to start with a reasonable number of teams first to build awareness. Most sports leagues didn't start with 32 teams overnight. They grew slowly.
Chances a certain Irishman is a part of this in 2023 when he is a free agent?
Will this league actually going to make a big splash or will it just end up like the XFL????
Excited to see new things happening in MMA.
Sounds like the original professional fight league from back in the day when the gyms had teams .. but if it’s team based it’s like a wrestling match
It is very difficult to have success the WFL in the form...Business Model is simply not suted for Individual sport.
Remember the IFL back in the day. This seems to be the same format

Amazing news for the athletes..Hope it all holds together.
Wonder how Dana is going to feel about this?
Any thoughts on the Hesser family's involvement? https://twitter.com/fightoracle/status/1438720427585638403
Dana White is gonna sabotage the whole plan
Awesome initiative! I fully support it. The fighters deserve more financial stability, insurance and opportunities.
Could they restart pride and rebrand it from trans MMA fighters?
