An antitrust class action lawsuit has been filed against the UFC by fighter Phil Davis, along with other fighters, claiming the UFC's monopoly harms not only contracted fighters but also potential competitors. The plaintiffs seek to change contract terms, allowing fighters to terminate after one year. The lawsuit alleges the UFC's practices discourage competition, trapping fighters in unfair agreements. Represented by Berger Montague, previously involved in a major settlement against the UFC, the lawsuit aims to challenge the organization's dominance in MMA.
The suit alleges the UFC impairs the ability of would-be UFC competitors to attract a critical mass of top-level MMA fighters necessary to compete with the UFC at the top tier of the sport.
We intend to prove that the UFC engaged in a predatory scheme to undermine would-be competitors to the UFC, which the suit claims had the effect of maintaining and enhancing the UFC's dominance.
