Manager Lex McMahon: Fighter's Union 'Needed' in MMA

There has never been a fighter's union in boxing, which leads many to believe one will never be formed in MMA.

The idea of a fighter's union in MMA has been talked about for years, however, it has always remained just that: an idea.

MMA manager Lex McMahon, president of Alchemist Management, said on Wednesday's episode of The MMA Hour that he was in favor of seeing fighter's union in MMA.

"I think it's needed," McMahon said. "I think that it's going to take further growth in the industry. I think that you're going to have to have a little bit more of a level playing field between the fighters, the management groups and the promotions before you are able to be in a position where you can really have enough strength from the fighter's side to be able to come together in a union. But it's an important issue."
