Joe Lauzon Beat Pulver!!!!!!

So Instead Of Rewarding Lauzon With Another Fight In The Ufc They Put Him On Tuf To Compete For A Chance To Fight In The Ufc!!!!. Sounds Like Lauzon Got The Shaft On This One.

Except that most TUF contestants end up fighting in the UFC anyways, with TONS more exposure, popularity, sponsors, and endorsements. Not to mention Lauzon's previous contract was $2,000 per fight

So yeah, not really seeing where he's getting the shaft

well the whole point of tuf is to get the chance to fight in the ufc, he already beat a well named fighter and got his foot in the door. Just seems counter productive to me is all.

The point of TUF is to give exposure to up-and-coming fighters and make them popular, so that the UFC can sell tickets and plant asses in seats at home, without having to pay all of their stars the big 6-figure salary.

Being on TUF is slowly moving from a perception of "being handed a contract without paying dues" in the MMA community, to a shrewd and intelligent business move. It's instant marketing and self-promotion.

Just look at the guys they are able to get to coach.

Besides that, it was most likely Lauzon's decision. The show has try-outs, not invites.
