The parties in the Mark Hunt v. UFC/White/Lesnar case have stipulated to allow the defendants an extension to file a responsive pleading to Hunt’s First Amended Complaint.
Hunt filed the First Amended Complaint on June 1, 2017. According to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a party has 20 days from the filing of the complaint to respond. The stipulation extends the response date to June 26, 2017.

Payout Perspective:
This is not huge news but gives defendants and extra weekend to file an Answer, Counterclaims or another Motion to Dismiss. Since it gives defendants an extra weekend to prepare a response, I would suppose a Motion to Dismiss might be filed once again, or at least a motion to dismiss the RICO claims. We will see.
