Veteran mixed martial artist Phil Davis has filed a new antitrust lawsuit against the UFC in Nevada, alleging the organization unfairly limits competition by making it difficult for other promotions to attract top talent. The lawsuit follows a substantial previous settlement involving a class action for fighters from 2010-2017. It claims both contracted and non-contracted fighters suffer under UFC's practices, leading to unfair wage distribution and a lack of competitive balance in the MMA landscape. The case highlights ongoing legal challenges UFC faces related to its business practices.
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 its monopoly.
