He says he had a brain injury, a doctor's note, and a hybrid offer on the table
The Ultimate Fighting Championship's parent company is facing a federal lawsuit from a former paralegal who says it pulled the plug on his remote work setup after a brain injury — then fired him.
Justice Feldman, who worked as a corporate paralegal at Zuffa, LLC, filed suit on May 20, 2026, in the US District Court for the District of Nevada, accusing the company of disability discrimination, retaliation, and failure to accommodate under the Americans with Disabilities Act and Nevada law. The case is Feldman v. Zuffa, LLC, No. 2:26-cv-01542.
According to the filing, Feldman's story begins with bad timing. About two weeks after accepting Zuffa's job offer, on or about October 1, 2023, he was hurt in a motor vehicle accident. He says he told Zuffa about the resulting disabilities — traumatic brain injury and chronic pain syndrome — and asked for a few specific adjustments: work from home, time off for medical appointments, and breaks throughout the day. Zuffa, he says, signed off on all of it. He started work on or about October 9, 2023, remotely.
In November, Feldman says he formalized the arrangement through Zuffa's third-party benefits administrator, complete with documentation from his treating physician. By January 2024, the filing states, Zuffa's own outside vocational counselor agreed that his medical limitations required full-time remote work.
