Why not go on TUF? Although the tag line for the show is "1 contract", that's a lie. There are plenty of "losers" that got contracts to fight in UFC. Hamill, Leben, Burkman, etc. If Joe Lauzon can turn whatever results he gets on TUF into a 5,6, or even an 8 fight deal he'd be an idiot not to do it. Win or lose Lauzon now has some stability for at least the next 2+ years. Otherwise he could have stayed fighting in small shows hoping that the UFC would call hoping to use him as a "tune up" or stepping stone" fight for someone else. Its a great business decision.
