Holy shit at the answers for the best person to lead a fighter's union. They clearly all have CTE. 2 out of the top 4 are literally the two worst people for the job I could think of and a 3rd (Cormier) wouldn't be far behind.

Chael Sonnen - Dana's sock puppet, who never misses an opportunity to stick his tongue up the UFC's ass and chastise fighters for even thinking about sticking up for themselves, who is a staunch right-winger and convicted white collar criminal is going to lead a fighter's union?

Conor McGregor? Drug addicted, impulsive criminal and alleged rapist who once admitted that he, Enzo and Frank would laugh together at how much the rest of the roster was being screwed, who also never misses an opportunity to belittle everyone else for personal gain and try to steal publicity from other fighters at every turn, is going to lead a fighter's union?

It's truly amazing and yet also very telling that fighters think these guys are the BEST guys to run a union.

Daniel Cormier has also proven himself to be quite the good little bootlicker in recent times.
