At the height of his Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) career, 3L Scott Denarola was ranked among the top amateur fighters in the country. Once driven to defeat other fighters, he now strives to protect them on a different battleground: antitrust law. An aspiring plaintiff-side antitrust attorney, Denarola has spent the past two summers gaining valuable experience at Kirkland & Ellis and Berger Montague. Last semester, while externing at the Federal Trade Commission, he analyzed the competitive harms of the Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act and presented his findings to agency attorneys. The bill passed the U.S. House of Representatives in March and is now before the Senate. Denarola further develops those arguments in a student note, “Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing: The Ali Revival Act,” which is currently being prepared for publication. It contends that the bill would undo the protection of the Ali Act of 2000 and allow a single promoter to entrench monopoly power over professional boxers. He also gave a recent Hot Topic presentation about the use of AI in MMA in his The Law and Governance of Artificial Intelligence class with Professor Colleen Chien. Among his other activities, he has led a restructuring of Berkeley Law’s Gun Violence Prevention Project, was a finalist in the school’s 2025 Halloum Business Competition, and will compete at the Asylum & Refugee Law National Moot Court Competition next March. Denarola discusses his journey from the MMA cage to the courtroom. Link in bio. #BerkeleyLaw #MMA #AntitrustLaw
