The Ultimate Fighting Championship's parent company has agreed to a $335 million settlement in two class action lawsuits, Le v Zuffa and Johnson v Zuffa. The lawsuits, which have been a significant point of discussion within the mixed martial arts community, were settled on Wednesday. The settlement amount of $335 million was disclosed, highlighting the end of a notable legal battle within the sports industry. Following the settlement, discussions have emerged around the next steps and the broader implications for the UFC and its athletes. Notably, the settlement for Johnson v Zuffa is expected to be minimal, likely almost zero, due to most class action waivers being signed. Experts and attorneys involved in the case have begun detailing the future actions post-settlement.
