Brock Lesnar UFC antitrust lawsuit settlement deadline is fast approaching, putting his right to millions of dollars at risk if he fails to take immediate action. Lesnar, along with other fighters, stands to receive a large sum from the class action settlement, but must act by the June 16, 2025 cut-off.
Final Days for Lesnar to Secure Settlement Payout
The $375 million UFC antitrust lawsuit settlement, which has roots going back to 2014, is meant to compensate fighters for contract and market restrictions imposed by the UFC. Fighters such as Cung Le and Nate Quarry challenged the company, arguing that it exerted oppressive power over athletes by limiting contract choices. Their efforts culminated in a major legal battle and resulted in a settlement in October 2024, formally approved by Judge Richard Boulware in Nevada.
Lesnar’s Potential Share at Stake
Brock Lesnar, well known both for his UFC past and as a WWE star, is among those eligible to claim part of the settlement damages from the UFC. However, as reported by Dave Meltzer, Lesnar has not yet completed the necessary forms to receive his portion in the so-called Cung Le settlement. The settlement payout requires eligible fighters to file paperwork before the deadline, otherwise their share will be redistributed among other claimants.
If Lesnar does not submit the required documents by June 16, 2025, he stands to lose millions, with his unclaimed share boosting the payouts for other fighters. The situation puts renewed pressure on Lesnar to respond as time runs out.
What Comes Next for Claimants
This settlement marks one of the most significant financial victories for fighters seeking compensation from the UFC’s past contract policies. While figures like Cung Le and Nate Quarry have already ensured their eligibility, Lesnar’s last-minute status leaves his potential payout—and his place in the outcome—uncertain. With millions at stake, all eyes are on whether Lesnar will move quickly to secure what is owed to him before the rapidly approaching deadline.
