While most MMA pundits wouldn’t consider Bellator Fighting Championships
and the UFC direct rivals, they soon will be – in court.
According to a report by Yahoo! Sports’ Kevin Iole, Zuffa, LLC, the
parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has filed suit in a
Nevada court against MMA Agents’ head Ken Pavia and the Bellator
organization.
At the center of the concern is alleged theft of “trade secrets and
confidential Zuffa documents,” which Zuffa contends Pavia passed along
to Bellator officials.
