"Today's decision is welcome news for both parties," a UFC spokesperson said in a statement to ESPN. "We are pleased to be another step closer to bringing the Le case to a close."
Eric Cramer, lead attorney for the plaintiffs, said they were "extremely pleased" by Boulware's decision. "It is a monumental achievement that will get significant relief to hundreds of deserving MMA fighters," Cramer said. "We honor our brave representative plaintiffs who fought for this result for ten years."
In July, Boulware denied the first proposed settlement agreement of $335 million, saying the amount was too low as it combined two different lawsuits. The $375 million figure agreed to in September focused solely on the Le v. Zuffa case, which covered fighters from 2010 to 2017.
