The Le vs. Zuffa lawsuit originated from claims by former fighters, including Cung Le, alleging that Zuffa (the UFC’s parent company) engaged in anti-competitive practices and suppressed athlete wages. The case led to a settlement offer that provided payments to fighters who had competed in the organization during the relevant period.
