Bjorn Rebney registers MMA union-related domains, UFC fighter Leslie Smith bails from PFA after confidential info leak

There is an announcement planned for later this afternoon at 4 p.m. ET that promises to "re-define" mixed martial arts (MMA), featuring former Bellator MMA owner, Bjorn Rebney, as well as Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) stars Georges St-Pierre, Cain Velasquez, T.J. Dillashaw, Tim Kennedy and Donald Cerrone.

Speculation has swirled about the mystery event since it was revealed earlier this week, with most of the MMA community leaning toward news related to the advancement of a union, a thorny issue that picked up steam about four months ago when sports agent, Jeff Borris, introduced the formation of Professional Fighters Association (PFA).
