It seems Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson has lost a significant amount of money in one of the UFC’s ongoing antitrust lawsuits—Le vs. Zuffa—which has recently been settled for a hefty $375 million. “They [the UFC] just lost their antitrust lawsuit. I was in that motherf—er,” Jackson revealed to influencer Bradley Martyn on the latter’s YouTube channel. This sparked Martyn’s curiosity about the damages the UFC has agreed to pay to the fighters involved. “So what is that, that’s like what, like 50-something million or 150 million?” the fitness influencer asked.
“No, 350 million,” Jackson corrected him, before explaining how his potential payout went from eight figures to significantly less. “This is what happened. When the case first started it was only a few of us in there so I first, originally, got told like they brought me in, the only reason they brought me in, they said ‘yeah your cut is going to be $60 million.’ I was like ‘all right, sign me up, right,’” he said.
But for reasons that aren’t totally clear- perhaps the number of litigants increased- which lowered Jackson’s share, the former 205lbs champ admitted that “my cut is now not 60 million”.
