OK lets say they don't get 100k. The TUF contract will still be better than the Invicta contract unless you are good enough for the UFC to sign you without being on TUF. Seeing as how reluctant the UFC has been at signing 145ers(for good reason) would you really be willing to take that chance? Lets look at a recent post Megan Anderson wrote. She fought multiple times in Invicta and ended up being their champion. Yet during that time she was not able to afford something as simple as a gaming console. I know people will bring up her not being able to fight for a year due to her Visa issues. While that is true, she fought 4 times the previous year and still seems to have gotten less than what she got for her debut UFC fight.Nicco and Roxy fought for the belt, so they got paid championship fight money.
This season doesn't have the belt on the line, I doubt there would be 100k waiting for winners.
Even you got 100k, you would be locked in a long shity tuf contract. Spencer is the best prospect in WFW now, it's better for her to make her name outside of UFC then get a good short deal with UFC.
The best WFLW fighters outside of UFC didn't participate TUF even when there was a UFC belt for the winner.
I am not meaning to sound like I'm talking bad about Invicta. If you read my previous posts its obvious I actually really like Invicta but its widely known that they don't have the funds to pay these girls a lot of money. Now that I think about before the UFC bought the 115 division Invicta was probably my favorite promotion.
