Seems like Bellator Fighting Championships is not taking the suit filed by the UFC lightly, nor are they lying down for the biggest MMA promotion in the world. The counter suit alleges tortuous interference of contract” of Jonathan Brookins as reported by MMAJunkie.com. Here’s the blurb:
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned that Bellator Sport Worldwide, LLC today filed suit against Zuffa in a New Jersey court and alleges that “The Ultimate Fighter 12″ cast member Jonathan Brookins (11-3 MMA, 1-0 BFC) joined the Spike TV reality series while still under an exclusive contract for Bellator.
Sounds like an interesting situation, and many would contend that UFC is just doing what it normally does when trying to take out the competition. We’ll keep you updated as word comes out.
