This seems like good news.
They are "Opportunity Enjoyers", not employees or workers or whatever, get with the script, sir.UFC fighters aren't "employees", they're "independent contractors" sucka.
I dont think UFC fighters are "employees" or workers and this likely wouldnt apply to them. Either that or Dana will retitle what the fighters fall under. They arent stupid.
This makes no sense because independent contractors can work for any company anytime they want.UFC fighters aren't "employees", they're "independent contractors" sucka.

Some way somehow they are classified as subcontractors but are still not allowed to work with competitors of the ufc. Got to get whoever did the paperwork for that creditI dont think UFC fighters are "employees" or workers and this likely wouldnt apply to them.

They aren't, even though they essentially are. Idk if the Kajun Johnson case addresses this, but they would have to get a judge and appeals court to rule in their favor.I dont think UFC fighters are "employees" or workers and this likely wouldnt apply to them.

They aren't in any sense. They don't even have regular work schedules ffs. Where else can employees just say "nah" and take years off and still be an employee the way Jon Jones has?They aren't, even though they essentially are.

Does it extend to independent contractors I guess is the real question?
A better question is why would non-competes be legal for independent contractors in the first place? I mean the word independent is right there.
WWE were notorious for non-compete clauses.
Exclusive Contracts and Non Compete Clauses are not the same.It would depend on wording but it is possible that the UFC contract that says they cannot fight for another organization might be void.
Potentially this means that the guys at the bottom could take fights in other orgs for whatever they pay. And the guys at the top may be able to go get beat in boxing.
Good for them? Not sure what landscapers laughing at you and telling you they'll show up whenever the fuck they feel like has to do with UFC fighters not being employees, but cool story nonetheless.If I told my landscaping crew that they had to wear uniforms I developed, couldn't wear any other clothing brand when they're working for me, can't work for anyone else without my permission, and had to be at my property at a date and time that I specify, they'd laugh their asses off and drive away.
They are government employees, I doubt it.Hopefully the FTC mentions contractual basis of non competes as well as employment
E.g. closed any loopholes
Surely this came up
