GAUL IV* The Ultimate Fighting Championship (“UFC”) is the premier mixed martial arts (“MMA”) promotion in the world and is the most recent athletic organization to attain a dominant market share that arguably constitutes a monopoly or monopsony. Antitrust law prohibits organizations from restraining trade or intentionally stamping out market place competition to attain or maintain monopoly power. The UFC’s behavior has raised significant concerns about competition in two separate markets: the MMA Promotional Market and Elite MMA Labor Market. While the MMA Promotional Market appears more competitive than it has ever been, the Elite MMA Labor Market has seen significant reductions in competition.

    Fight or Flight with Cung Le Unofficial Transcript (Explicit Content) B=Show Bumpers DM=Dion Mitchell, Co-host MA=Mehul Anjaria, Co-host CL=Cung Le, Guest B Welcome to the crime redefined podcast produced by zero cliff media coming to you from the US Bank tower high above downtown Los Angeles. In our podcast, we drill deep into forensics and criminal investigation from the viewpoint of the defense as well as explore the intersection of the media and the justice system. DM I'm Dion Mitchell here with my socially distanced co-host Mehul Anjaria. On this episode of crime redefined, we have a special treat for you. We're talking to MMA legend and Hollywood action film star, Cung Le about his new TV project, Flight or Flight-that just might save your life. MA Yeah, as a big MMA fan, I'm really looking forward to today's interview. Cung Le is a former Strikeforce middleweight champion who famously defeated Frank shamrock for that belt. Cung also fought in the UFC and he's been in the ring with the likes of Michael Bisping, Vanderlei Silva, and Rick Franklin. DM Now if you're not as familiar with MMA as Mehul is you may know Cung from the impressive list of movies he's been in, to name a few, Fighting with Channing Tatum, Pandorum with Dennis Quaid, Dragon Eyes with Jean Claude Van Damme and Puncture Wounds with Dolph Lundgren. MA Well, I think we've established that Cung is a tough guy. And so now that we know his resume, it's pretty obvious that Cung’s got the right stuff to bring us a TV show about survival.

BIRREN* AND TYLER J. SCHMITT** I. INTRODUCTION Acquired for $4 billion in July of 2016,1 the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the world’s premier professional mixed martial arts (MMA) organization. MMA is a combat sport involving both stand-up and ground fighting, in which competitors, known as mixed martial artists, utilize various techniques from disciplines such as wrestling, boxing, Muay-Thai kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, karate, and taekwondo. As with any sport, the amount of money paid to athletes is of great interest among fans, promoters, and fighters alike. In recent years, the amount fighters are paid to compete in the UFC has come under serious scrutiny.2 In 2016, median per-fight-pay in the UFC was around $42,000,3 and most fighters on the promotion’s roster of over 5004 would be considered lucky to fight three times a year.
