Dion-Vera Suit Accuses Zuffa, White, & Silva of Interference with Contract

It appeared that the management dispute between Mark Dion and Brandon Vera was resolved in an arbitration hearing in front of the CSAC earlier this year. However, MMAPayout.com has learned that Dion filed suited against Vera and his new management team in civil court in California on May 1.

The complaint closely follows the contours of the arbitration proceedings, except for the inclusion of Zuffa, White, and Silva for allegedly interfering with Dion's management contract with Vera. Specifically the complaint alleges that Zuffa and its officials encouraged Vera to breach his contract with Dion and provided him with confidential emails to use in that effort.
