The Legal Submission Newsletter 55
Happy New Year!
2023 brought a lot of big legal and business events in MMA. I’ve listed the top 10 here. You can also find them at MMA Payout.
Of course, the UFC Antitrust Lawsuit
A bonus here is the latest Legal Submission discussing the possibility of excluding Hal Singer from the case.
I believe the top 3 on the list represent benchmarks that could change the MMA industry and how it is operated and run. The class certification in the UFC Antitrust Lawsuit is the biggest since the Order seemed to agree with Plaintiffs that there was evidence of anticompetitive measure the UFC may have implemented to create a monopsony.
With an April 2024 trial date, we may know by late spring what a jury thinks of the claims.
