Fighters make final pitch to take UFC anti-trust lawsuit to trial

A group of former UFC fighters, which includes Jon Fitch, Cung Le, and Kyle Kingsbury, submitted a final written argument to Las Vegas federal court’s Judge Richard Boulware on Friday in an attempt to force their class action anti-trust lawsuit against the UFC to a trial. That lawsuit argues that the UFC is guilty of monopolization and monopsonization of the MMA industry.

The letter is a response to the UFC’s recent motion for summary judgement. That filing from the UFC argued that no reasonable jury would ever rule in favour of the former fighters and that the lawsuit should be thrown out as a result.
