Zuffa files motion to stay discovery of '15 years of Zuffa's financial statements'

Zuffa is asking for a motion to stay after being served with 59 separate requests for documents, including 15 years of financial statements, by former UFC fighters now seeking a class action lawsuit against the promotion.

Yesterday attorneys for the UFC filed in the Northern California District Court a request to stay all discovery until after it issues a decision on Zuffa's motions to dismiss and transfer the class action antitrust suit that was brought against them by Cung Le, Nate Quarry, Jon Fitch, and eight other former UFC fighters.

According to the request to stay, on Sunday, April 26, the Plaintiffs served Zuffa with 59 separate requests for production of documents "seeking production of an enormously wide-ranging and detailed volume of information and electronic and hard copy documents relating to virtually every aspect of Zuffa's business.
