The biggest potential MMA story of 2024 is already over.
On Wednesday, news broke that TKO Group Holdings — the parent company of UFC — reached a proposed $335 million settlement that will bring an end to a pair of long-running antitrust lawsuits. The settlement ensures that the antitrust cases, the first of which was initially filed in 2014, will not go trial when and if Judge Richard Boulware signs off on the terms of the agreement — a seismic development in a story that threatened to change the landscape of MMA as we know it.
While the terms of the settlement have yet to be fully revealed, Wednesday’s news still elicited plenty of reaction from the MMA community, with some fighters calling the terms a win for the UFC and the legal team for the plaintiffs stating its satisfaction with the outcome.
Check out that reaction below. This story will be updated throughout the day.
We are pleased with the settlement and will disclose more when we file with the Court in 45-60 days.

I don’t really know the details of it. But does seem low. Again, I would’ve liked to have seen it go to trial with all the information that would’ve been exposed. https://t.co/12NROxTwM4
Huge victory for UFC. Not sure what the overall goal was for the fighters. Least it’s something but appears nothing will change moving forward. https://t.co/ZmDyxG4K1b
