UFC Agrees to $375M Settlement in Antitrust Lawsuit with Former Fighters

The revised settlement addresses concerns from a judge who previously rejected a lower offer, and now awaits court approval.

The $375 million settlement pertains to the Le v. Zuffa case, which involves fighters who competed between December 2010 and June 2017.
The initial $335 million settlement was rejected by U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware in July due to concerns about fund distribution.
The revised settlement will be paid in installments and is expected to be tax deductible, according to UFC's parent company, TKO Group Holdings.
The Johnson v. Zuffa lawsuit, filed in 2021, remains pending and is at an early stage, with a motion to dismiss still under consideration.
If the court does not approve the new settlement, a trial date for the Le case has been set for February 3, 2025.
