The Ultimate Fighter: US Vs UK

[DTX3]

That's one hell of a card, for being on live TV.

Hell yeah, that Diaz/Joe Daddy fight should be pretty damn good... both of those actually, but I'm looking forward to that one more than the Sanchez/Guida fight.

Looking at Sanchez/Guida and Stevenson/Diaz, I'm excited for the finale. I love the lightweights. This looks like a way better card to me than UFC 99 even, and it's free.

Yea, the winner gets a contract, right?

From wikipedia...........

Quote:

The winners of the first three seasons of The Ultimate Fighter competition, and certain runners-up depending on their performance in their competition finals, receive the touted "six-figure" contract to fight in the UFC. These contracts are specifically three-year contracts with a guaranteed first year. Each year consists of three fights, the first year's purse per fight consists of $12,000 guaranteed with a $12,000 win bonus (a maximum of $24,000 per fight), the second year's purse per fight is $16,000 with a $16,000 win bonus (a maximum of $32,000 per fight) and the third year's purse per fight is at $22,000 with a $22,000 win bonus (a maximum of $44,000 per fight). A TUF winner who goes 9-0 can earn $300,000 total on the contract, but only $150,000 is guaranteed for all three years if 9 fights are fought.[2] Those that have not won the competition can still fight in the UFC. Their contracts however are not the same as the six-figure deal above.

It seems looking at Mac Danzig's(the last TUF champ to actually fight) paydays that these days the winner gets a contract that pays 15K to fight and 15K to win. Everyone else gets 8K/8K.
