The UFC will attempt to have the antitrust lawsuit filed by current and former fighters thrown out of Las Vegas federal court tomorrow. Bloody Elbow’s resident economist and former antitrust practitioner tells us what to expect.
So you want to f***ing sue the UFC? The first major hurdle to clear is its motion to dismiss your lawsuit. That's what's at stake in Las Vegas tomorrow for the 11 current and former UFC fighters suing the company for anticompetitive business practices. A hearing on the motion to dismiss will be held at 3pm local time.
In June, the UFC succeeded in its quest to have the lawsuit transferred from Northern California to Nevada.
