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.
