I'm a litigation attorney at one of the top law firms in my state. We deal with high dollar value Civil suits regularly.
Just wanted to let you guys know if DC sues, which he might not because he's such a classy guy, he can take UFC and JJ for EVERYTHING. He can sue the UFC for negligence and conspiracy and JJ for assault and battery.
Mark Hunts case has survived dismissal motions and is still moving forward despite being MUCH weaker.
DC suffered a brutal knockout that left him with potentially life altering brain damage and any doctor would testify to this. He agreed in a contract to fight a guy who was clean and instead got knocked unconscious and was clearly badly badly badly concussion and unstable for long after the fight.
He has a phenomenal case and this is coming from a top level lawyer. If he choses to sue he can very easily put not only Jones on the street but UFC bankrupt.
I am expecting Jones to be homeless within the year.
I am a civil-litigation lawyer.
My last civil trial (won at Trial and again on Appeal) carried a value of ~$70-100 million (depending on the metric) and garnered national attention.
In a 10-year legal career (still relatively Junior), I have never met a single lawyer who would describe themselves as "a high-level lawyer", including the ones who deserve all the accolades, such as (in my jurisdiction) the recently appointed Justice Farrar (Court of Appeal), Justice Chipman, or Justice Brothers, all outstanding, nationally recognized litigators (prior to their respective appointments).
Is that an American thing?
You also don't write like a lawyer.
Are you relatively new?
... finally (and respectfully), I disagree with your analysis.
Best of luck.
