Finally Judge Richard Boulware issued his long awaited class certification order which granted cert to the ‘Bout Class’ of fighters. However, Zuffa has petitioned the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to hear an appeal.
I take a look at it in The Legal Submission in two episodes this week. And as context, here is the first one where I talk about the order.
In addition to the Zuffa Antitrust Lawsuit information, I also examine the Court in the Mladen Miljas case in which the Court finds a loophole in the Ali Act to the detriment of the fighters. Garcia’s attorneys are very complimentary of their client.
Also happening, Ryan Garcia has filed a Motion to Dismiss the lawsuit that was filed against him and his advisor in Nevada.
