While the class action lawsuit brought against the UFC for their alleged monopsony control of the MMA landscape looks to be nowhere near ending, one notable legal battle facing the promotion seems to be over. ZUFFA LLC has successfully had the lawsuit brought against them by former heavyweight top contender Mark Hunt dismissed. Sports economist and former Bloody Elbow contributor Paul Gift tweeted out the Nevada District Court’s ruling on Friday, November 22nd.
In the original lawsuit, the ‘Super Samoan’ claimed that the UFC had conspired with Lesnar, to keep his PED use under wraps until after his UFC 200 bout against Hunt.
