There has been some significant movement in the antitrust suit brought against the UFC.
In December 2014, a group of MMA fighters joined together to file a class-action lawsuit against the UFC and its parent company Zuffa LLC. These representatives, like Cung Le, Nate Quarry, Jon Fitch, and others, believe that the UFC used “improper strategies” to control the market for MMA fighter services.
Nearly a decade later, Judge Boulware certified the Le vs Zuffa (UFC) antitrust lawsuit as a class action, a ruling that the UFC appealed shortly after.
That appeal has since been denied setting the stage for a potential trial in 2024.
