While most MMA pundits wouldn't consider Bellator Fighting Championships and the UFC direct rivals, they soon will be – in court.
According to a report by Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole, Zuffa, LLC, the parent company of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, has filed suit in a Nevada court against MMA Agents' head Ken Pavia and the Bellator organization.
At the center of the concern is alleged theft of "trade secrets and confidential Zuffa documents," which Zuffa contends Pavia passed along to Bellator officials.
Pavia is one of mixed martial arts' most influential agents, and he represents a number of fighters in both the UFC and Bellator organizations.
Neither Pavia nor Bellator officials were immediately available for comment when contacted late Thursday night by MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
According to Iole's report, the suit provides copies of emails allegedly between Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney and Pavia that outline the wrongdoing.
"You've been great about sending us 'All' of the seminal docs from the UFC, so that we can re-do them and implement them for Bellator," Rebney allegedly states in one such email.
"Please list each in terms of what it is for and how the UFC uses them/implements them. ... Then I'm going to have our team Monday re-type them and we will sufficiently alter them such that they will appear to be ours and not theirs."
According to the report, "Zuffa seeks actual and punitive damages and a permanent injunction barring Bellator or Pavia from using Zuffa’s assets, including its intellectual property."

Seems Zuffa is all about fighting, in the cage, in the court, who knows where they will take it next. To the moon?
Sometimes they remind me a little of the ex East German secret agency, Stazi. They spent more money on tapping phones and following people then on anything else and eventually it became so expensive it was the largest cost the nation had. And for what? In the end what it led to was that all the citizens lived in a constant fair of being snitched by some neighbour or being taken by Stazi and tortured. All wich in the long run had great part of that nations destruction and dissapearance.
Would you like to work for Zuffa? I know I wouldnt.

Industrial espionage goes MMA I don't see anything bad in following UFC footsteps. UFC has set up standards and following them isn't bad but really positive thing. Also I can't see how Bellator can be threat to UFC and WEC. Small promotions are living off hardcore fans while Zuffa is having products for the masses. In the end all smaller promotions are feeders for UFC and the more professional they become the more positives for MMA community appears. UFC will poach all of the talent that rises through the ranks of other promotions. Only danger to Zuffa is that someone with more money appears, which I hope will happen soon
