PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN…“@SBNLukeThomas: MMA fan hostility to this lawsuit is the most MMA fan thing ever.”

“@campbellcombate: .@Benaskren @BestUFCTweeter This is important issue.” UFC skirting taxes by paying fighters as independent contractors.

“@NeilPmac: @Benaskren @campbellcombate @BestUFCTweeter Are Bellator fighters independent contractors as well?” I mean no, neither are

The law firms who filed suit against the UFC have recent victories over Google, Apple, Intel, and Dow Chemicals? Yikes.

It's early days of (not so successful) fighters v UFC but I can tell you who will be wealthy because of this. Lawyers.
