Parties Reach Settlement in Principle in 3 Consolidated Class Actions vs. UFC Owner

The parties in three consolidated class actions against Zuffa, 49.9% owner of Ultimate Fighting Championship (see 2311120004), have reached an agreement in principle to resolve all claims between the plaintiffs and defendants, said their joint settlement notice Wednesday (docket 2:23-cv-00802) in U.S. District Court for Nevada in Las Vegas. The parties are in the process of drafting and executing “the formal settlement agreement and related papers,” and will keep the court apprised of their progress, said the notice. Each of the class actions alleged that Zuffa violated the California Automatic Renewal Law for the manner in which it runs the UFC Fight Pass streaming service.
