The Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association has responded to a cease-and-desist order from lawyers representing a group of fighters in a class-action lawsuit against the UFC.
Bloody Elbow obtained a copy of the letter, which was addressed to Bjorn Rebney and expressed concerns that the newly-formed group could hinder the ongoing anti-trust suit. The letter, from Eric Cramer and Michael Dell'Angelo of Berger & Montague, Benjamin Brown and Richard Koffman of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll, and Joseph Saveri, questions the motives of the MMAAA and claim that Rebney and his representatives met with the counsel for the class-action suit a year ago seeking a share of the payout in the lawsuit.
