You can hire a lawyer to write up a lawsuit against anybody for anything. Whether or not that lawsuit goes anywhere is the question.
In this case, a lawsuit would almost certainly not gain any traction.

wouldn't they have done that after Roy Nelson kicked a ref?

When I'm not studying human psychology and body language in regards fight weigh ins I'm reading up on law. I can tell you that Daley can not only sue the UFC for wrongful termination but he can get Dana White imprisoned for discrimination.

Common sense will tell you neither has enough money money to sue the UFC, they have an army of lawyers plus the Paul Daley incident was inexcusable.
Companies have all kinds of clauses in fine print that protects them they can do whatever they want with an employee.

Well yes, they could sue since anyone can sue anyone just by hiring a lawyer.
And since the World isn't fair since Conor still in UFC while they are not, this also means they would likely not win theor lawsuit either, especially if it's in U.S courts where in this day and age the ones with the most money, not the ones who are right, will win the verdict they want

This also happened in the UFC. Why wasn't he immediately terminated like High or Daley?

Daley and Jason High got cut swiftly.
Conor definitely won't be cut, Big Country wasn't cut (UFC pretty much ignored him KICKING a REF in his ass actually lol)..

Roy was suspended, not kicked out of the UFC.
Well, an independent contractor can't be wrongfully terminated in the eyes of the law.
The question would be would a judge consider the relationship to be more like an employee-employer rather than an independent contractor.

fFirst of all, everyone is a lawyer here.
Second of all, of course fucking not. Conor was not sanctioned in this fight, and he also did not put his hands on the ref first. Roy also wasn't fired either.
Dana's don't hit the ref rule obviously means without reason and while your fighting.
Refs don't get free passes to assault people!

WTF?
I have never seen that. Why did Roy do that? Is he retarded?

I don't know, but Big Country and McCarthy made peace about it pretty quickly IIRC. The attitude and context are also important in how you deal with such case : High and Daley overreacted because they were poor losers, while Big Country complained because he had to inflict unnecessary damage to his opponent.

Yes. They should, and for defamation of character.

I think, as I read earlier, the grey area is that Connor wasnt a liscensed competitor it was more akin to a fan running into the cage. That sort of thing technically is not in the athletic commissions jurisdiction.
