UFC Settles Class-Action Lawsuits, Agrees to $335 Million Payout

Attorneys representing fighters in the UFC antitrust case are finalizing details of a $335 million settlement and seeking preliminary approval from the overseeing judge. Class members will have the opportunity to provide feedback or object to the settlement. The allocation of the settlement remains unclear, with attorneys expected to request around 33 percent for their fees. A "fairness hearing" to finalize the settlement agreement is anticipated to take place in September, and it is uncertain whether the settlement will include orders for the UFC to change its business practices.
