” The judge was clearly wrong, not only from the perspective of applying the incorrect requirements for movement to dismiss, but his position is rather ridiculous and old-fashioned,” Christopherson told MMA Fighting.
Whites identity was shielded by a federal judge throughout the case with Ramos. However when Ramos sued, he called White as an offender.
At problem in the fit against White and the UFC was the interpretation of the mediation in between Ramos and the UFC executive. Ramos attorney argued there was a valid arrangement for payment for signing the non-disclosure agreement, while Whites lawyer countered it was just a contract to go over possible payment and not a commitment to any figure. Campbell argued the sides did not have “a conference of the minds”– White, according to Christopherson, just declined to pay Ramos– and that ended their obligation.
Ramos stated the extortion charges were a setup after he faced White about the video and threatened to go public. Ramos lawyer Christopherson said the nondisclosure contract protected the promotion from shame and possible monetary losses months before the business was sold in 2016 for over $4 billion. In the suit against White and the UFC, Christopherson accused them of violating the Mann Act, which prohibits transferring females internationally for unethical purposes.
Whites attorney, Donald Campbell, and a UFC executive didnt right away react to a demand for comment. Ramos told MMA Fighting he was “surprised” by the verdict and added, “I dont concur with what the judge stated.” His attorney, Ian Christopherson, will appeal the case to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Ramos, an individual trainer and real estate representative, was caught over a wiretap by the FBI accepting $200,000 in exchange for a video of White having sex with his then-girlfriend, an unique dancer at the Spearmint Rhino club in Las Vegas. Ramos had actually intercepted the video from the sweetheart after she captured it on a journey to Brazil to see White, who was there for a UFC event.
Ramos, an individual fitness instructor and genuine estate agent, was captured over a wiretap by the FBI accepting $200,000 in exchange for a video of White having sex with his then-girlfriend, an unique dancer at the Spearmint Rhino club in Las Vegas.

Ernesto Joshua Ramos took White and the UFC to court in April, accusing the UFC executive of breaking an offer to pay him after signing a nondisclosure arrangement in connection with his guilty plea to a single felony extortion charge that sent him to prison for just under one year. White and the promotion sought to dismiss the claim, arguing the offer was only an agreement to get in a mediation on settlement.
A Clark County (Nev.) judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit against UFC President Dana White after a Las Vegas guy founded guilty of obtaining him over a sex tape demanded breaking an offer to keep him quiet.
The LVRJ reported District Judge David Jones ruled that Ramos did not have a legitimate agreement with White and dismissed the case from the bench after an hourlong hearing.
White formerly told Las Vegas Journal-Review, which first reported the termination, “I look forward to the court dismissing this quickly so I can get rid of these scumbags forever.”
