The UFC criticises a judge who rejected a financial settlement it had reached with former fighters.
The UFC has criticised a judge who rejected a financial settlement it had reached with former fighters.The group of former fighters claimed the UFC's contracts suppressed athletes' abilities to negotiate other promotional options.
However, earlier this week in Nevada Judge Richard Boulware refused to accept the settlement and set a tentative trial date for October."As we have said throughout this process, we believe strongly in the merits of our cases and are evaluating all our options, including, without limitation, an appeal, and have initiated discussions with plaintiffs' counsel who have expressed a willingness to engage in separate settlement discussions for the Le and Johnson cases.
There are two separate lawsuits, one filed by fighters Cung Le and Nate Quarry in 2014 representing fighters from 2010 to 2017, and a second filed by fighters such as Kajan Johnson that represents fighters from 2017 to the present.Plaintiffs in both cases say are they open to "re-engaging" with the UFC over a new settlement or moving forward with the trial.An award-winning coming-of-age love story'I have never seen anything like that' - Yee's sprint wins GB gold.
