The fighters said in a Tuesday motion that they are seeking sanctions, including default judgment, against UFC operator Zuffa, its parent company TKO, and TKO majority owner Endeavor Group Holdings Inc., for “repeated misconduct and violations” of the court’s orders. The defendants have refused to meet and confer and have stonewalled on producing court-ordered materials and information, the fighters said.
