A Quote by Fabricio Werdum
I have a lot of options to sign when I left UFC, when I go a different way. The PFL called me, the season is amazing, four fights in a short time is good, too. One million dollars and a good contract.

I did see the Yahoo Sports story Kevin Iole wrote about how the ratings for TUF go up when there's a women's fight in the episode.
