Representatives for several fighters scheduled to appear this weekend at a British MMA expo said organizers cut and ran when the event suddenly was canceled over the weekend.
The reps now say a lawsuit is likely to recover money promised to participants.
“We believe [the organizers] breached the agreement, and all of our guys have been relying on this,” manager Lex McMahon, who represents nine fighters scheduled for the expo, told MMAjunkie.com. “We believe these guys were not honest with us at all.”
