Other fight promotions have benefitted from TUF- a lot. After Randy came out of retirement, they gave him an immediate shot at the title, which he of course won. That didn't exactly hurt his career, and without the UFC none of this would have happened. This is to say nothing of the fact that his pay was higher than everybody's except Chuck. Not bad for being an aging fighter with many losses on his record, huh?

Nobody shafted Randy Couture.

Common sense, ban
