The legal battle between the Bellator Fighting Championships and the
Ultimate Fighting Championship has taken an unexpected turn.

While Zuffa, LLC – the parent company of the UFC – recently filed suit
in Nevada against Bellator due to an alleged theft of “trade secrets and
confidential Zuffa documents,” Bellator officials have now fired back
with a suit of their own.

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 joined the Spike TV reality series while still under
an exclusive contract for Bellator.
