MMAWC, LLC, the entity doing business as World Series of Fighting (WSOF), is having a hard time escaping its past. For the seventh time in a year and a half, WSOF is being sued for alleged bad business dealings. Claims in the previous six lawsuits ran the gamut from breach of contract, defamation, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference with a contract, negligent and intentional misrepresentation, wrongful termination, to civil conspiracy.
The seventh, filed on Jan. 3 in Clark County District Court by former WSOF consultant Shawn Lampman, alleges a conspiracy between Bruce Deifik, who Bloody Elbow documented 14 months ago as WSOF’s majority owner, and NBC to “actively oust” Lampman from involvement in WSOF’s management.
