When will it expire? I thought they expire after 5 years. Maybe he’s looking to fight elsewhere or box. He had 2 fights left which is why ufc isn’t letting him fight until he signs a new one
Isn’t that how Francis got out of his contractWhat were the terms of the contract? I've never heard of contracts expiring after 5 years unless that was a previous agreement.
It was based on how the contract is structured. If you have a sunset clause after 5 years, that is the only way that happens. There is no legal requirement to end a contract after 5 years, and the UFC could stop making new contracts including that provision at any time.Isn’t that how Francis got out of his contract
Not if they don't want trouble with the justice department. There's a reason why they started making less restrictive contracts, they lost [a ruling in] an antitrust case in Nevada. They don't want the DOJ looking further into their business practices so they are not going to remove the sunset clauses. And some states do have restrictions on how long a contract can be enforced.and the UFC could stop making new contracts including that provision at any time.
Huh? That lawsuit isn't even off the ground yet; it just started.Not if they don't want trouble with the justice department.

2Conor has 3 fights left on his contract.
The Sunset clause was added (5 year limit on contract length) in response to the Anti Trust lawsuits. Here is an interesting article about the changes that helped Ngannou leave as Reigning UFC champion and more recent changes that are designed to give the UFC even more leverage and control and protection from class action lawsuits which spurred changes that favoured the fighters.It was based on how the contract is structured.

Yes, good answer. Lot of ignorance on here.The Sunset clause was added (5 year limit on contract length) in response to the Anti Trust lawsuits.

The UFC "Sunset" clause started happening in 2017. Connor signed before that iircWhen will it expire? I thought they expire after 5 years. Maybe he’s looking to fight elsewhere or box. He had 2 fights left which is why ufc isn’t letting him fight until he signs a new one
