UFC antitrust settlement nears completion with $237M already paid out
The UFC antitrust settlement has now paid out over 90% of its funds to eligible fighters. A total of $375 million was set aside for claimants, with $237.3 million already distributed. However, some athletes still await their shares due to legal and logistical hurdles.
So far, 984 fighters across 44 countries have received their payments. Lawyers from Berger Montague are working to resolve outstanding cases as quickly as possible.
At least 17 fighters live in nations under U.S. sanctions, blocking their payments. Others face delays because of unresolved legal disputes, such as tax issues, spousal conflicts, or unpaid child support. In a few cases, deceased fighters left no will, complicating the distribution of their shares. The remaining funds will be released once these obstacles are cleared. Attorneys continue to address each case individually to ensure all eligible claimants receive their money.
While most fighters have already been compensated, a small number still wait for their payments. The settlement process remains ongoing, with legal teams actively resolving the final cases. The total $375 million fund will be fully distributed once all issues are settled.
