Jesse Taylor just might be the most entertaining guy to ever come out of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) house. I mean, he did pee his swim trunks on national television. And who else can do better tricks on command like Coco the Monkey? Amir Sadollah? Pshaw!
But in all seriousness, when Jesse Taylor went and got himself kicked off of the Finale for violating the UFC’s conduct policy, no one was laughing. Well, at least Jesse Taylor wasn’t.
Now that he’s “served his time” and been invited back into the thick of things, Taylor has a unique opportunity to not only prove he belongs in the big leagues, but also to fight the one man who benefitted the most from his dismissal: CB Dollaway. Dollaway beat Tim Creduer to claim Taylor’s vacated spot in the Finale against Amir.
And the rest, as they say, is history
Taylor and Dollaway square off on the main card of UFC Fight Night 14: “Silva vs. Irvin,” one week from tomorrow at The Pearl in Las Vegas, Nevada. The fights start at 9:00 p.m. ET and will go head-to-head with the Affliction pay-per-view.
We caught up with Taylor to congratulate him on his return, find out his thoughts on his upcoming fight with Dollaway, and gauge his interest in a possible dream matchup with Amir Sadollah at some point down the road to find out who really deserves to be called The Ultimate Fighter.
