Ultimate Fighting Championship has long dominated the world of mixed martial arts. But UFC’s effort to swallow up competitors has triggered a class action by fighters who claim it’s abusing its power. Now a key court victory threatens the organization’s very business model. Bloomberg’s Josh Eidelson investigates.

The antitrust class action discussed in this Bloomberg video is Cung Le, et al v. Zuffa, LLC, d/b/a Ultimate Fighting Championship and UFC, Case No. 2:15-cv-01045 (D. Nev.)  Cohen Milstein is Co-Lead Counsel in this case.
