Fighters are starting to get that class action settlement money

The money has finally started to roll in for fighters after the UFC agreed to settle that pesky class action lawsuit for $375 million back in February. Some are going to get millions. Some will only get a few thousand. Still, must feel pretty weird to get the bag after being owed it for more than a decade. To some, it might seem like free money, while others are having a more complicated time with it.

Plus, it’s Carlos Ulberg vs. Dominick Reyes this weekend in Perth. It actually might turn out to be kind of an important fight, considering the junk heap that is the UFC light heavyweight Top 15. Volkan Oezdemir is still in the Top 10, you guys. Volkan Oezdemir!
