2024 in UFC

{{Main|Ultimate Fighting Championship}}

On August 9, 2023, U.S. District Judge Richard Boulware granted class action status to more than 1,200 former UFC fighters who competed between December 2010 and June 2017 and are suing for $800 million upward to $1.6 billion in wages, as the lawsuit claims Zuffa had abused its power to suppress UFC fighters' wages. The anti-trust law also permits private plaintiffs to be able to recover three times the damages suffered, meaning the UFC may ultimately pay several billions of dollars worth of damages.{{cite magazine |last=Riddle |first=Matthew |title=UFC Officially Involved in Class-Action Lawsuit, Over $1.6B in Damages Possible |url=https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/news/ufc-officially-involved-in-class-action-lawsuit-billions-in-damages-possible|access-date=2024-02-04 |magazine=Sports Illustrated |date=10 August 2023 |language=en}} The case has a scheduled April 8, 2024 trial date.{{Cite web |last=Gift |first=Paul |title=UFC Asks Judge To Exclude 'Fundamentally Flawed' Expert Opinions In Antitrust Case |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/paulgift/2023/12/14/ufc-asks-judge-to-exclude-fundamentally-flawed-expert-opinions-in-antitrust-case/ |access-date=2024-01-19 |website=Forbes |language=en}} On March 20, 2024, TKO, UFC parent company reached an agreement to settle all claims in the class action lawsuits for $335 million where the settlement amount will be deductible for tax purposes.{{Cite web |last=Martin |first=Damon |date=2024-03-20 |title=UFC reaches settlement to close out antitrust lawsuits, promotion agrees to pay out $335 million |url=https://www.mmafighting.com/2024/3/20/24106823/ufc-reaches-settlement-to-close-out-antitrust-lawsuits-promotion-agrees-to-pay-out-335-million |access-date=2024-03-20 |website=MMA Fighting |language=en}} However, on July 31, 2024, Judge Richard Boulware ruled that the case would be heard by a jury and denied the preliminary approval for a settlement and reset for trial of in October.{{Cite web |author= |date=2024-07-31 |title=TKO Group, Plaintiffs in UFC Antitrust Case React to Judge Denying Settlement |url=https://cagesidepress.com/2024/07/31/ufc-plaintiffs-react-judge-denying-settlement/ |access-date=2024-08-02 |website=Cageside Press |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Martin |first=Damon |date=2024-07-31 |title=Judge denies UFC antitrust lawsuit settlement, resets trial date for October |url=https://www.mmafighting.com/2024/7/31/24210486/judge-denies-ufc-antitrust-lawsuit-settlement-resets-trial-date-for-october |access-date=2024-08-02 |website=MMA Fighting |language=en}} On October 21, 2024, Judge Richard Boulware of Nevada granted preliminary approval for a $375 million settlement in the "Le vs. Zuffa" antitrust lawsuit for monopolistic practices. As part of the settlement, around $240 million to $260 million will be distributed to eligible fighters, specifically those who competed in at least one UFC bout from December 2010 to June 2017. These payments are expected to be made over the next year. Additionally, $40 million from the settlement will be set aside for administrative and legal expenses. The preliminary approval pertains solely to the "Le vs. Zuffa" case. A second, related antitrust lawsuit, "Johnson vs. Zuffa", which covers fighters who competed in the UFC from 2017 to the present, remains unresolved and continues to proceed separately.{{Cite web |date=2024-10-22 |title=UFC antitrust settlement preliminarily approved by judge for Le vs. Zuffa |url=https://mmajunkie.usatoday.com/2024/10/ufc-news-antitrust-lawsuit-le-settlement-boulware |access-date=2024-10-23 |website=MMA Junkie |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Judge Approves $375 Million Settlement in UFC Antitrust Lawsuit |url=https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Judge-Approves-36375-Million-Settlement-in-UFC-Antitrust-Lawsuit-195290 |access-date=2024-10-23 |website=Sherdog |language=en}}

On April 12, 2024, UFC announced a new glove where changes were made to reduce hand injuries and eye pokes (every 14 fights with an average delay of 50 seconds), while maintaining dexterity and not affecting performance. The new gloves were already tested during the ten weeks of the Dana White's Contender Series 2023 and gloves were used starting in June 2024. New features of the gloves include: (1) a wristband locking system to prevent grabbing of the gloves; (2) all seams are now on the palm side with a lack of seams on top of the hands to minimize abrasions and cuts; (3) removal of finger binding that allows the hand to close maturely to reduce eyes pokes, abrasions, and cuts; (4) padding to the sides of the index and pinky finger of the glove to protect bone; (5) ergonomic curved wristband for better fit around the wrist scooped or angled finger holes to eliminate bunching on the inside of the fisted hand lining; (6) and thicker foam padding for maximum flexibility and protection with an updated law profile hook and loop that minimizes snag and reduces weight; they have an authentication and data chip which allows the UFC to identify a pair of gloves to a fighter in a specific fight.{{Cite web |last=Lee |first=Alexander K. |date=2024-04-12 |title=UFC unveils new lighter glove to reduce eye pokes and hand injuries, will debut soon |url=https://www.mmafighting.com/2024/4/12/24128620/ufc-unveils-new-lighter-glove-to-reduce-eye-pokes-and-hand-injuries-will-debut-soon |access-date=2024-04-12 |website=MMA Fighting |language=en}}{{Cite web |last=Cox |first=Susan |date=2024-04-12 |title=Photo {{!}} UFC unveils new fight gloves, eye pokes and broken hands expected to be significantly reduced {{!}} BJPenn.com |url=https://www.bjpenn.com/mma-news/ufc/photo-ufc-unveils-new-fight-gloves-eye-pokes-and-broken-hands-expected-to-be-significantly-reduced/ |access-date=2024-04-13 |website={{!}} BJPenn.com |language=en}}

The debut of the new gloves took place at UFC 302 on June 1, 2024, at the Prudential Center in Newark.

On November 12, it was reported that the UFC had notified fighters competing in upcoming events, starting from UFC 309, that the organization will reintroduce its previous glove design, which had been replaced at UFC 302 in June. UFC President Dana White cited frequent complaints from fighters as being the reason for the change, even though the new design had only been in use for six months.{{Cite web |last=Sherdog.com |title=UFC to Retire ‘New’ Gloves, Permanently Return to Previous Design at UFC 309 |url=https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/UFC-to-Retire-New-Gloves-Permanently-Return-to-Previous-Design-at-UFC-309-195480 |access-date=2024-11-15 |website=Sherdog |language=en}}

UFC Fight Night: Magny vs. Prates is the first UFC event held in Nevada since cannabis was officially removed from the state's list of banned substances. At the beginning of 2024, the Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) and Drug Free Sport organizations removed cannabis from their banned substances list when the UFC shifted its anti-doping testing from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) to CSAD. On October 30, 2024, the Nevada State Athletic Commission also announced its decision to remove cannabis from the state's list of prohibited substances. They stated, “The possession, use, or consumption of cannabis or cannabis products will not be considered an anti-doping violation.”.{{Cite web |author= |date=2024-10-30 |title=Marijuana Off NSAC Naughty List, No Longer Prohibited for Fighters |url=https://cagesidepress.com/2024/10/29/marijuana-off-nsac-naughty-list-no-longer-prohibited-for-fighters/ |access-date=2024-10-30 |website=Cageside Press |language=en-US}}
