They have to wear uniformsI dont think UFC fighters are "employees" or workers and this likely wouldnt apply to them. Either that or Dana will retitle what the fighters fall under. They arent stupid.

It would depend on wording but it is possible that the UFC contract that says they cannot fight for another organization might be void.I mean, what does this affect? That one year period after a fighter's contract ends where the UFC can match any other offer before they move on to another promotion?
Besides that, it's still perfectly reasonable that you wouldn't let your employees work directly for your competitor while under contract in any business which this doesn't change.
I suppose. Might be a career ending move, though. UFC can tell them to go pound up their ass after doing that and they'll forever be in the b-leagues. First few fighters with a name are probably going to get burned doing this but maybe it'll become normal.It would depend on wording but it is possible that the UFC contract that says they cannot fight for another organization might be void.
Potentially this means is that the guys at the bottom could take fights in other orgs for whatever they pay. And the guys at the top may be able to go get beat in boxing.
Yay, now mma will suck! Yippee!WWE was big on these, so suck it TKO Holdings!!
The wording seemingly makes sure to extend it to any worker instead of just employees, so hopefully it does.Does it extend to independent contractors I guess is the real question?
They've been big on Apex cards for a while now, so nothing changes there.Yay, now mma will suck! Yippee!
