The UFC has agreed to pay $335 million to settle class action lawsuits related to wage-fixing claims. The lawsuits alleged that the UFC abused its market power through exclusive contracts and acquisition tactics. TKO Holdings, the parent company of the UFC, reached the settlement just over a month before the trial was set to begin. The settlement was disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The agreement has led to a positive impact on TKO Group Holdings stock, which rose nearly 8% after the announcement.
