UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey has been released from the fighter-manager portion of her contract with Darin Harvey and Fight Tribe Management. Rousey and Harvey entered into a “Representation Agreement” on May 15, 2012, but recent disagreements between the two parties eventually lead them to arbitration over the validity of the contract. California State Athletic Commission executive officer Andy Foster on Thursday rendered his arbitration decision on the “Representation Agreement” between Rousey and Harvey’s Fight Tribe Management, nullifying the fighter-manager portion of the agreement as it relates to mixed martial arts specifically. The agreement, however, goes well beyond the scope of mixed martial arts and into Rousey’s commercial dealings outside of the Octagon. That portion of the agreement, according to Foster’s decision, will have to be ironed out in the Los Angeles Superior Court. The mixed martial arts portion of the agreement is governed by the California State Athletic Commission because it was entered into in California, but was found to be non-compliant with the state’s rules and regulations for a fighter-manager agreement. The remainder of the contract is outside the jurisdiction of the commission
