epwar Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Dennis Hallman and Javier Vasquez have filed a similar suit against the UFC with the same lawyers as Quarry, Le, and Fitch (which sounds like a law firm itself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 23, 2014 Author Share Posted December 23, 2014 I move for Hallman's name to be thrown out just because of this: Also, why the hell didn't they join the first round of plaintiffs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilwaldo Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Dennis Hallman and Javier Vasquez have filed a similar suit against the UFC with the same lawyers as Quarry, Le, and Fitch (which sounds like a law firm itself). I can see this one getting dismissed fast since one can make the same case for any of the four major sports. Looks like a legal tactic of piling on to win the PR war by making the UFC look as bad as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitlick Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 How are any of these guys paying for Legal Fees? I can see maybe Cung Le having money but the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilwaldo Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 How are any of these guys paying for Legal Fees? I can see maybe Cung Le having money but the rest? It is class action so the lawyers get a portion of any proceeds, a very significant portion. The lawyers mentioned at the press conference that the lawsuit would be economically profitable for them to pursue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 http://www.ufc.com/news/ufc-statement-2 We have built a popular business from modest beginnings by meeting the needs of fans and fighters. Millions of people have watched our bouts, we have instituted leading health and safety measures for our athletes, and fighters are free to negotiate contract terms.We will stand up against the plaintiffs in this litigation every step of the way, and have engaged attorneys from Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP with a depth of experience in antitrust issues. Bill Isaacson, our lead litigator, says, "The antitrust laws have long favored companies that create new products and services that consumers want. That is exactly what the UFC has done here through its long and substantial investment in building a popular sport."We are proud of the company we have built, confident in our legal position, and intend to prevail in this lawsuit.

JoshEngleman Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 https://twitter.com/KevinI/status/562788465847566336 Raise your hand if you thought they would both fail drug tests. Silva for drostanolone during pre-fight test, Diaz for weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 RT @KevinI: Silva popped for drostanolone in a PRE-FIGHT test conducted Jan. 9. Diaz over limit for marijuana from post-fight test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So I'm guessing a 6-9 month suspension for Silva, and 18-24 months for Diaz, if not an outright ban... I think they're both done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Brett Okamoto @bokamotoESPN 23s Next NSAC meeting is Feb. 17. Most likely both Silva and Diaz will be temporarily suspended at that time, disciplinary hearings later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 At this rate they should only take action on Nick Diaz when he is NOT testing positive for drugs because they you know something is up. Other than that same old shit Not sure why people are so shocked at Silva though. I mean do you really think that someone can rehab from that kind of injury that fast 100% natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
