Questionable arbitration clause could cost Conor McGregor big money in UFC’s $335 million antitrust settlement

After making millions of dollars betting on Nate Diaz and a couple of football matches, Conor McGregor stands to make a lot more from the UFC’s $335 million class-action settlement.

So long as the judge signs off.

Last week, news broke that Judge Richard F. Boulware was not entirely comfortable putting his stamp of approval on a settlement that could squash an antitrust case filed against the promotion more than a decade ago.

Boulware is expected to deliver his decision next week. If he ultimately decides to sign off on the deal, McGregor will stand to bank $7 million from the deal — more than any of the other 1,200 fighters represented in the suit.
