The winners turn out OK, but the average contestant ends up with a rather poor contract. Thanks for that catch, I meant TUF contestant.

For example, check out: http://www.mmaringreport.com/recommended-articles/sports-illustrated/ufc-fight-night-payouts.html Your point still stands though. Joe Soto isn't making $25,000 a fight in the UFC. Alvarez probably would make more, but I'm sure whatever his current career plan is, it's the most profitable for him.
