(This story was updated to add statement from attorney.) An antitrust settlement between the UFC and a group of its former fighters has been temporarily approved by a U.S. district court judge, according to reports. On Tuesday, Judge Richard Boulware of Nevada temporarily approved a $375 million settlement agreement for Le vs. Zuffa, multiple attendees of the hearing revealed on X shortly thereafter. Per sports economist Paul Gift, who was present at Tuesday’s hearing, approximately $240 million to $260 million will be paid out to qualifying fighters (those who competed in at least one UFC bout from December 2010 to June 2017) over the next year. Former UFC fighter Tom Lawlor was also present at the hearing and confirmed the temporary approval.
