Well, this doesn't sound good. Won't there still be a discovery phase down the line though? Or is there a motion to dismiss still?
Shit eating grins for all.
I've obtained the full court reasons granting the change of venue. You can find these here

My pleasure. Cheers!
There goes that...

Unpopular opinion around here, but I think the judge's decision is fair. If someone was suing my company, I think I should have the right to defend myself in my state where my business is ran.
@ErikMagraken what comes next? The UFC will be seeking to have the lawsuit dropped before discovery?

All things being equal and not involving obvious men of regulatory and local government influence sure. If you could enter into evidence to context of conflict of interest of Gambling magnates getting their hometurf for this, it really should be done in some sort of officially neutral environment. Suing some chain of Hotels in a state and it getting transferred is one thing, getting it transferred for people with local government relationships? That's stacking the deck, the problem is there is no neutral alternative in this case, you either reward the plaintiff or GREATLY reward the defendants here.

Zuffa filed a motion to delay their discovery obligations until after their Motion to Dismiss is heard.
The Motion to Dismiss was scheduled to be heard on July 23, 2105, but with the change of venue this timetable has been set aside. A new judge will be assigned to the case in Nevada. From there a new timetable will be set up to hear the motions to delay discovery obligations and dismissal.
