Culinary asks FTC to investigate Ultimate Fighting Championship

Culinary Local 226 wants the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Las Vegas-based Ultimate Fighting Championship, claiming the world’s largest promoter of mixed martial arts events is violating U.S. antitrust laws.
Zuffa LLC, which operates the UFC, is majority-owned by Frank Fertitta III and Lorenzo Fertitta, the principals in Fertitta Gaming and operators of Station Casinos. The Culinary is trying to organize many of the company’s 13,000 employees.
