The issue is: wouldn't we be seeing better fights in the UFC if getting a UFC contract meant that a fighter could focus on training mma without needing the distraction of a second job?
The issue is really that the UFC is both the major and minor leagues of MMA....and everything else besides a handful of fighters are amateur level.
There isn't any reason the UFC should have to pay this woman a bunch of money. No one knows who she is.
And the answer to your question is no. This woman was 1-0. The UFC signed her and she fought...so even if the UFC paid her 5 million dollars for the fight she wouldn't have magically been better.
Fighters skills don't increase because of their purse......their purses increase because of their skill.
