    "Theft of trade secrets"

    Even little fish like Bellator are not outside the range of the UFC's radar.

    The NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL are kind of on the same page.

    The UFC is ok with the minor leagues but once these guys start getting TV deals and giving guys $100,000 cheques, they become competition.

    IF the charges are true, that is a pretty serious legal breach by an agent.
