Today a Federal Court Judge in Nevada dismissed Zuffa’s attempts to delay their discovery obligations in the multiple anti trust lawsuits facing the MMA industry leading UFC. Zuffa was hoping to stall their obligations until their motion to dismiss the lawsuit is heard but the Court refused to do so.

With Zuffa being forced to open their books the merits of the lawsuits will become clearer for the Plaintiffs in the upcoming weeks.

Today’s ruling, however, was not a one sided victory. The Court refused to outright delay Zuffa’s discovery obligations but at the same time the court ‘imposed restrictions’ on the Plaintiffs broad discovery requests which will be in place at least until the Court has a chance to rule on Zuffa’s motion to dismiss the claims. For those hoping this lawsuit will bring Zuffa’s financials into the public eye will have to wait longer as well as the parties were ordered to “submit a proposed form of Confidentiality and Protective Order”.

well im glad that the courts have ruled against the tyrant, im sure once the motion to dismiss denied the plaintiffs will have full access to books. We can wait a little bit longer.

Why would they have done anything to warrant this? not being a smart as- but what would they have been hiding and don't they have crafty enough book keepers to make sure they are covered?

why do all the backroom bonuses if your not trying to hide from the tax man?maybe it is on the level and im sure they have the best accountants available but if your boss came up to you periodically and slipped you a envlope of cash or personal check why not just include it in payroll unless your trying to get around paying tax on it
