When it was announced yesterday that Cung Le, Nate Quarry, and Jon Fitch were plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit alleging that the UFC had violated the Sherman Anti Trust act, Twitter didn’t react very much, as least as far as fighters were concerned.

UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub summed it up.
