Former UFC fighters submit letters of support for proposed settlement agreement.

The proposed agreement amount is $375 million .

The letters were filed Monday by plaintiffs as part of a memorandum in support of settlement.

The fighters reiterated their preference for immediate financial relief rather than risking a trial.

The total sum allotted to the plaintiffs (should Boulware approve), will be $ 375 m.

It’s not yet known if Boulware will sign off on the new agreement. If Boulware denies the settlement and the case goes to trial, Plaintiffs would need a unanimous jury verdict to win. Even with victory, the plaintiffs could be looking at years worth of appeals before seeing compensation or injunctive relief. Should Boulware approve this new agreement, the Johnson vs. Zuffa case will continue separately. The class in that case includes all fighters who competed in one UFC bout from July 1, 2017 , to the present and seeks injunctive relief..
