Dollaway, in his loss to Amir, knows his own stupidity (uncharacteristic for him) in getting caught with the same sub twice. I think that C.B. will have a plan to beat Jesse and train to beat him by stuffing his takedowns, use leg kicks to slow down his shots, and press him against the cage to frustrate him. The problem is that even with all this, Taylor is some sort of Wolverine-type character who seems to have great stamina and the ability to shrug off damage. This will be a great battle, and I hope Dollaway steps up and shows us what he learned in defeat. C.B.

So now whether he wins/losses he has a free pass to drink and say he is a f@#%ing UFC fighter again.

You punished JT, he seems to have responded, now get him back in the public eye while he is still recognized. he didn't kill anyone, and I would say the punishment fit the crime, so give him a chance to get his career back on track. It also serves the UFC well, because people will want to see him. I really like the matchup of CB, and it could settle some speculation of who was the 2nd best on the show. As for saying this was planned to drum up interest in the finale...imo, the finale was no better for having CB on it instead of JT. they took a risk having the same fight we saw only a few days earlier.

Who knows.... I hope Jesse has got his act together. I have read numerous blogs from guys in the house and they all say the same thing, how cool JT was , how nice , and just plain crazy. He was not a jerk he was however very stupid. I think that he is a beast though and he will do well in the UFC . If he fights CB, look for him to TKO him in the second . CB has neither the heart or strength to fight at this level . Second thoughts about being to harsh ?? Who knows…. I hope Jesse has got his act together.

The next time Jesse fights and wins, he oughta announce in the octagon that he has an after party and it's at the Palace Station Casino. White's head might actually explode.

Dollaway, a much more technical fighter, can beat a genetic freak like Jesse Taylor. This is a fight between a smart fighter and a genetically gifted one. Also, it might be noted that Jesse seems to be a modern day Tito Ortiz, while Dollaway has the tools to be a well rounded fighter (unless he keeps stupidly getting caught in submissions, that is). The funny thing is, regardless of Dollaway's abilities and intelligence, I somehow think Taylor could beat him. Well, I would like to see if C.B.

How many opportunities is Dana going to give this dude? Well it will probably be another lost by tap out that he didn't do. What a stoge.

Neither fighter seemed very exciting to me on the show. The wrestler vs wrestler matchup here could be interesting, yet possibly very boring. As for JT's punishment... I feel missing out on the finale was a big enough punishment. He missed out on the possible contract and TUF title. I wouldn’t say that I would “love” to see this fight, but I would watch it.

Now I enjoy TUF - like I might enjoy an ice cream or some other simple pleasure that doesnt set the world on fire. However, if you are going to draw lines in the sand of moral conduct then be sure to keep to your side. If he's meant to be out, then stick to that. I'd wager there are 20 wrestling standouts who would give their back teeth for the opportunity and who wont behave like an arse. Why didnt he just go home to his family after 6 weeks anyway? He should stay gone if Dana has any credibility (did I just write that?!) yet if this news is true he'll probably give the old - ''the fans really wanna see this F***in guy fight'' rubbish. All this ranting aside - my hypocritical MMA addication would make me tune in - so I would watch it if they got CB or preferably Matt Hamill to serve him notice, beat him down at his own game and put paid to it all. If they throw him up an easy fight, well thats just shit isnt it. The UFC doesnt need more 'bad boys' that never live up to the hype.
