Fair to Lauzon?

What do you guys think about Joe being asked to do this TUF? he already beat one of the damn coaches. Would that not make him good enough for a contract already? I think it was bad for UFC to put him on the show. With guys like Matt, Chuck, GSP, and Randy you had icons of the sport. None of the fighters they trained would come close to beating them. But now you have a coach that has been beat by a fighter. That is so wrong to me. I think it takes away from Jens as a coach.

Lauzon will get more pulicity being on this show than he would ever have gotten just being some UFC guy coming in. Being on this show creates a lot of drama too, because he DID beat one of the coaches.

He will get a contract regardless if he wins, don't worry about that. But being on this show creates much more interest in his name and is very good for him. Much better than just a contract.

Lauzon choose to be on the show. He tried getting his brother on it, but he was too young.

So the UFC offered Lauzon an opportunity on the show, or a chance to fight Spencer Fisher. He choose TUF for all of its extra benefits.

It's not like he was forced to be on the show.

even though he's already beaten Jens, it's a good move...look at all the TUF guys that don't win, they continue to fight...
