TUF season 7

[ATRAIN]

Not to read too much into some TV show but I am sure that dude grew up because of that. He will be back in the UFC for sure..he is very talented…just an idiot. They made him look so effing stupid that entire season.

Yeah i have no doubt he will be back.

Not to argue semantics, Evan, but I think Jesse made himself look stupid. It's hard to argue that they edited it that way to make him look like a moron when he actually did all of those things. It's probably a safe bet that they edited a lot of what he did and said out.

Amir got Quote of the Episode last night, though: "If you lined up the four guys I fought here -- Steve Byrnes, Gerald Harris, Matt Brown and CB Dollaway -- and said you have six weeks to fight and beat all of them, I would look at you and say, ‘No.'"

Jesse Taylor, "The Ultimate Fighter: Team Rampage vs. Team Forrest" finalist who was kicked out of the compe ion due to a drunken, post-show Las Vegas rampage, says he has since cut alcohol out of his life.

Taylor discussed the situation in a video interview for eTV.com, and in it, he says that when the show's producers flew him back to Las Vegas, he was told it was for a follow-up interview.

Instead, UFC president Dana White broke the news that Taylor had been kicked out of the UFC and that he would be replaced in a June 21 finale fight with Amir Sadollah.

"After I was called into Vegas to talk with Dana -- first off, when I flew in there, I had no idea," Taylor said. "They told me it was just a follow-up interview. So I showed up there, and it was quite a big shock -- probably one of the most devestating things to happen to me."

After the show had concluded taping, Taylor and a few of his castmates stuck around Las Vegas for an extra night on the town. However, White later received a surveillance video of Taylor kicking out a window of a limousine and, as he said, "terrorizing females guests" at Palace Station Casino, which is operated by UFC owners Frank and Lorenzo Fer ta.

Just prior to the incident, Taylor had earned a ticket to the finale by defeating Nick Rossborough, Mike Dolce, Dante Rivera and Tim Credeur in a six-week span.

"The impression I think that a lot of people might think is that I was so excited that I went crazy," Taylor said. "That's not the case. Most of it just has to do with I just -- when I start drinking sometimes -- I drink a little too much. That's been a downfall for me before."

A sense of celebration soon overcame him.

"I started drinking, started thinking about how good things are and just kept drinking and drinking," he said. "I just spiraled out of control."

Taylor, while admitting that he's since quit drinking, is still hopeful for a second chance in the UFC. During this past Wednesday's season-ending episode, White told Taylor to return home, clean up his life, and then to give him a call. Some viewers have interpreted the comments as White essentially offering Taylor a potential shot of fighting at a future UFC event.

"I was just pretty much out of control," Taylor said. "I'm not going to sit here and make excuses. I just want another chance. We're all human. What I did was crazy and out of control, and the only excuse I have is that I made a horrible mistake. And honestly, drinking is cut out of my life due to this."

After defeating Credeur, C.B. Dollaway took over Taylor's spot in Saturday's finale. However, come Saturday, Taylor won't need any reminders that it could have been him fighting for the "TUF" championship and a lucrative UFC contract.

"I know what I did," Taylor said. "I know how bad I [expletive] up. It's a horrible feeling. I hope no one has to go through what I went through."

there ya go

lol!

I've got a feeling that CB is going to take this; he won't let Amir beat him again. I think everyone will soon see a lot of fighters coming out of Arizona (where CB is from) now that the state legislature has allowed MMA here. There are now several brand new schools here, including a new Lion's Den as well as a Gracie BJJ school. CB is from an older school, Arizona Combat Sports, but many more are opening.

I think Amir will win more easily this time. He is damn good.

He's also 0-0 as a pro... (although the UFC has given him a 1-0 record now for some reason)

CB via knee to the forehead...

I like Sadollah...he's funny...he's tough...but he's going to get smoked. CB won't gas this time...

I think because it went 3 rounds in the semi?

I rewatched Season 7 of TUF for the past 2 days and it was really a great season. I loved Rampage and Forrest as coaches, they both are likeable, funny guys. I was really disappointed in how Jesse (JT) ed things up for himself, I really liked that kid. I also was very impressed by guys like Matt Riddle, Tim Credeur and Dan Cramer. I loved how Jeremy May talked so much about Matt Brown, and ended up getting knocked the out by Brown in the Octagon.

Amir was def a warrior, even though I think he got lucky at times. And I still can't make up my mind about CB Tapping. What do you guys think of that season in hindsight? I really enjoyed it, probably one of my favorite seasons of TUF.
