I understand what you're saying but i think you forget that a lot of times it isn't about the weightclass you're fighting in. I can't begin to count the number of TUF fighters that have changed weight classes after the show. For a guy like Matt Serra, yea, a guaranteed title shot against Matt Hughes or GSP would be great. But i guarantee he's must more inmterested in the 100k cash, the 100k xyience sponsorship and most importantly the avdertisement for himself as a figher and his business running BJJ schools. I live on LI and i've seen a few commercials for his facilities. Before the show i had already seriously considered going there, but after seeing the show, now that i know his personality, his work ethic and his dedication to a cohesive team based unit, once i can, i will definitely be going there to train.
