Evidence in Cung Le lawsuit against UFC shows company paid 20 percent of revenue to fighters

The questions of exactly how much the UFC pays to its fighters was answered in court hearings on Monday in Las Vegas.

The figures came out in Judge Franklin Boulware’s hearing regarding the lawsuit by Cung Le and other former UFC fighters against the company, charging that UFC was acting as a monopoly promotion that used its power and marketplace control to keep fighter pay down.

This is a key week as Boulware, after the hearings, is expected to make a ruling that would greatly impact the proceedings if the case was to go forward.
