TKO Group Agrees to $335 Million Settlement in UFC Class-Action Lawsuits

The settlement resolves allegations of wage suppression and monopolistic practices by the UFC's parent company, avoiding a trial set for April.

TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC, will pay $335 million to settle class-action lawsuits filed by former UFC fighters.
The lawsuits accused UFC of anticompetitive behavior, underpaying athletes, and maintaining a monopoly over the mixed martial arts market.
The settlement, reached on March 13, 2024, will be paid in installments and requires court approval.
More than 1,200 fighters were represented in the lawsuits, which sought damages up to $1.6 billion.
The settlement is seen as a victory for past, current, and future UFC fighters, according to the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association.
