Ernesto Joshua Ramos took White and the UFC to court in April, accusing the UFC executive of reneging on a deal to pay him after signing a nondisclosure agreement in connection with his guilty plea to a single felony extortion charge that sent him to prison for just under one year. White and the promotion sought to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing the deal was only an agreement to enter a mediation on compensation.
The LVRJ reported District Judge David Jones ruled that Ramos did not have a valid contract with White and dismissed the case from the bench after an hourlong hearing.
White’s attorney, Donald Campbell, and a UFC executive didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Ramos told MMA Fighting he was “surprised” by the verdict and added, “I don’t agree with what the judge said.” His attorney, Ian Christopherson, will appeal the case to the Nevada Supreme Court.
“The judge was clearly wrong, not only from the standpoint of applying the wrong standards for motion to dismiss, but his position is antiquated and somewhat nonsensical,” Christopherson told MMA Fighting.
