Last Friday the Plaintiffs in the Zuffa class action antitrust lawsuit filed their Opposition to UFC’s Motion for Summary Judgement. The Defense’s (Zuffa) motion was requesting the court to rule that the other party has no case, claiming no reasonable jury could return a verdict for the former fighters.
