  • Are Ufc Fighters Employees Or Independent Contractors?
    Conklin Book Proof (Do Not Delete) 4/27/20 8:42 PM TWO CLASSIFICATIONS ENTER, ONE CLASSIFICATION LEAVES: ARE UFC FIGHTERS EMPLOYEES OR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS? MICHAEL CONKLIN* I. INTRODUCTION The fighters who compete in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (“UFC”) are currently classified as independent contractors. However, this classification appears to contradict the level of control that the UFC exerts over its fighters. This independent contractor classification severely limits the fighters’ benefits, workplace protections, and ability to unionize. Furthermore, the friendship between UFC’s brash president Dana White and President Donald Trump—who is responsible for making appointments to the National Labor Relations Board (“NLRB”)—has added a new twist to this issue.1 An attorney representing a former UFC fighter claimed this friendship resulted in a biased NLRB determination in their case.2 This article provides a detailed examination of the relationship between the UFC and its fighters, the relevance of worker classifications, and the case law involving workers in related fields. Finally, it performs an analysis of the proper classification of UFC fighters using the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Twenty-Factor Test. II. UFC BACKGROUND The UFC is the world’s leading mixed martial arts (“MMA”) promotion. MMA is a one-on-one combat sport that combines elements of different martial arts such as boxing, judo, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and karate. UFC bouts always take place in the trademarked Octagon, which is an eight-sided cage.3 The first UFC event was held in 1993 and had limited rules and limited fighter protections as compared to the modern-day events.4 UFC 15 was promoted as “deadly” and an event “where anything can happen and probably will.”6 The brutality of the early UFC events led to Senator John * Powell Endowed Professor of Business Law, Angelo State University.

Both #1 Fedor Emelianenko and #2 Brock Lesnar were set to fight. But just as in August, fate intervened and only one of the two titans of the division actually competed. In August it was the failure of #6 Josh Barnett to meet the licensing requirements of the CSAC and the resulting collapse of Affliction as a fight promotion that prevented Fedor from fighting.

  • ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP® UFC 89: BISPING Vs
    For Immediate Release: July 1, 2008 ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP® UFC 89: BISPING vs. LEBEN MICHAEL "THE COUNT" BISPING vs. CHRIS "THE CRIPPLER" LEBEN LIVE FROM THE NATIONAL INDOOR ARENA, BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND SATURDAY, OCT. 18, 2008 London, England (UK) - The Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) organization will storm into the British Midlands for the first time when UFC 89: BISPING vs. LEBEN touches down at the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham, on October 18. In a middleweight showdown, which has set mixed martial arts fans ablaze with anticipation, England’s own Michael ‘the Count’ Bisping will finally collide with Chris ‘the Crippler’ Leben. Two of the most explosively exciting strikers in the 185lbs division, Bisping and American Leben were originally set to face off in London at UFC 85 in June but, now, are set to do battle in Britain’s Second City. “This is one of the most exciting fights we could have made in the middleweight division,” said UFC President Dana White. “Bisping has looked a monster since dropping down to 185lbs, and he’s dominated Charles McCarthy and Jason Day inside a round already this year. And Leben is coming into UFC 89 with a ton of momentum, too, having just knocked out Terry Martin and Alessio Sakara; two of the biggest wins of his career.” White added, “That these two guys were willing to fight each other in London with six weeks’ notice shows you the kind of warriors they are. But now we will see this fight probably as it should have always happened, with both guys getting plenty of notice and coming in 100% ready for each other.” Tickets for UFC 89: BISPING vs.

  • Still a Star? Nogueira Talks About Cain Velasquez, His Future, and Fedor
    Still a Star? Nogueira talks about Cain Velasquez, His Future, and Fedor Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira looked terrible against Frank Mir However, eight months after the Mir debacle, Nogueira looked like one of the top mixed martial artists on the planet in dominating Randy Couture. Nogueira won a clear-cut unanimous decision against the UFC legend. So which “Big Nog” can we expect to see in the future? The answer will be revealed very shortly at UFC 110 on Saturday, February 20. Nogueira is set to step into the cage against an undefeated fighter many observers feel is a huge part of the heavyweight future, Cain Velasquez. Velasquez, the two-time All-American wrestler at Arizona State University, has ripped off seven straight victories to start his career. Of the seven wins, only one man (Cheick Kongo) even made it to the scorecards. The other six fighters all fell by TKO. But none of the men Velasquez defeated have anything close to the career accolades of Nogueira. Besides Kongo, Velasquez’s biggest win was against former IFL star Ben Rothwell. On the other hand, Nogueira is the only man to hold heavyweight championships in both Pride FC and the UFC. He’s beaten proven MMA stars like Mirko Cro Cop, Josh Barnett, and Dan Henderson. The match-up between Nogueira and Velasquez will be a true test of where each fighter stands today and for the future. “I’m very excited for the fight,” Nogueira said about the upcoming match-up. “Wherever it goes, I’ll be ready.” Nogueira is widely known for being one of the best submissions fighters in the history of the sport.
