News UFC class action certified!

[Pierced7681]

Years upon years of screwing fighters, manipulation tactics, and illegal practices coming right back at you. Don’t believe in karma but I’d say this is a pretty decent case of it if it exists. Can’t say I feel sorry. Dana White is a massive douchebag who has stepped on many ppl to get the UFC to where it is today.

Years upon years of screwing the fighters? Bullshit. The fighters are the ones who sign the contract, if you don’t like it don’t sign it. The UFC gives us fans the best fighting the best every year by ensuring fighters can’t duck each other.

 

[McSpikes]

Bad news for fans

The death of mma is upon us. Once the Ali Act is in effect there will be no leverage to make the best fight the best.

Yep, UFC being a monopoly is unfortunately good for the fans. These people are gonna cry when/if MMA ever ends up ran like boxing

Independent contractors in exclusive contracts who don’t have the right to find work in multiple places? Sounds like an employee. But if that’s the case where are the benefits?

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

The extra $5 per PPV will sweep this under the rug.

Im pissed. If the sport goes the way of boxing I’m going to stop watching. I’ve been a fan since UFC 6.

 

[The XL]

This is going to be bad for the sport. That said, Dana and company put them in this spot by being greedy bastards who nickle and dimed their fighters to death.

WWE does the same thing, what’s your point?

 

[Domitian]

Couldn't UFC just move their business out of the USA to Abu Dhabi or some shit?

 

[GueseGuy]

WWE does the same thing, what’s your point?

That’s illegal is the point. Illegal and unlawful business practices. That’s why they are being sued. Signing away lifelong likeness rights with no royalties?

 

[Barteh]

Why is there no warning message below this tweet that these claims are disputed? The dude just said democrats will have control of the presidency and senate while that claim is disputed by millions and millions of people. I'm so confused right now.

 

[Pierced7681]

That’s illegal is the point. Illegal and unlawful business practices. That’s why they are being sued. Signing away lifelong likeness rights with no royalties?

So UFC shouldn’t be allowed to do it, but other businesses are ok? Or you just don’t care about the other businesses who use the same system?

 

[Volador]

Time to bend over and grease some palms Big Poppa.


Thankfully the democratic party is incorruptible and doesn't respond to large donors or corporate interests.

I have a hard time imagining behaviour worse than was already revealed. We already know they were setting up unfavorable matchups for fighters who were being difficult or at least threatened to do so. Deliberately burying them on prelims and on shit cards.

Unseal those docs and lets see those juicy morsels.

Unfavourable match ups? You should fight whoever your boss wants you to fight, it’s your job

They can work in multiple places. Just not fighting.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Well...500 cuts inbound ...


U watch...

What are you talking about dude? I never mentioned any other businesses why are you bringing them up? Seems like a moot point to argue for illegal practices because someone else is doing them too. Illegal is illegal. That’s why they are being sued. You sound hurt like it’s your child.

Obligatory
