Report: Jesse Taylor vs. C.B. Dalloway at UFC Fight Night 14 (UPDATED)
July 2, 2008 by Sam Caplan
Update: An official with Spike TV has confirmed that the Taylor vs. Dalloway match will indeed be televised on July 19.
A middleweight matchup between alumni from the seventh season of “The Ultimate Fighter” between Jesse Taylor and C.B. Dalloway is planned for UFC Fight Night 14 on July 19.
The news comes courtesy of a report on MMAJunkie.com, which is citing sources within the camps of both fighters.
While it’s unknown for sure at this time whether the Taylor vs. Dalloway bout will be televised, it would be a surprise if it didn’t make the Spike TV telecast based on all the television time the two received on TUF 7.
Taylor was headed to the finals of the TUF 7 finale against Amir Sadollah until he was removed by UFC President Dana White for disciplinary reasons stemming from an incident that occurred in Las Vegas in the days after the show had originally wrapped.
Dalloway had been eliminated in the semifinals but was giving a second chance to make the finals after he defeated Tim Credeur in a bout to determine who would replace Taylor.
The former Arizona State University wrestling standout rematched Sadollah in the TUF 7 finals during the live finale on June 21 but lost when he submitted to an armbar in the first round.
UFN 14 is scheduled to be headlined by the UFC light heavyweight debut of Anderson Silva, as he takes on James Irvin. Featured bouts between Brandon Vera vs. Reese Andy and Frankie Edgar vs. Hermes Franca are planned as well.
If Jesse Taylor wins will there be a pants pissing celebration dance?
This fight will solidify Jay Larkins assertion that ground fighting is like gay foreplay. There will even be plenty of pissing.
After party at Stations Casino!
Did anyone else see this on yahoo?
Dana White said he’s found “the next Anderson Silva,” a lightweight who is competing in Season 8 of TUF at 155 pounds, though he declined to release the fighter’s name because it might spoil the season. “I was going off when I saw this guy,” White said. “He’s 24 and he’s destroying people. It’s sick how bad **** he is. I’m getting goose bumps talking to you about him.”
Are you kidding? Pissing on his opponent is Jesse’s finishing move!!
This has dry hump fest written all over it! First to cum wins.
what is this fixation with CB dalloway? This guy is getting more fights compared alot of UFC vets.
Frankly they should send BOTH of these guys to the WEC to get more experience.
Who will Amir be fighting?
