Jesse Taylor: Back in the UFC?
Even though Jesse Taylor’s drunken antics got him booted off The Ultimate Fighter, he still just might get the chance to step into the octagon. Taylor kicked out a limousine window and then harassed women at a Las Vegas hotel while boasting “I’m a UFC Fighter.” Just a couple weeks later, Taylor’s words may very well come to fruition.
Rumors have surfaced across the world wide web about Taylor’s involvement in UFC Fight Night 14 on July 19th. Although those rumors are not yet confirmed, the possibility of the fight even taking place questions the scruples of UFC President Dana White.
White talked a good game when he sent Taylor home on The Ultimate Fighter television show. He preached how a person who behaves like that has no place in the UFC. And for a few moments, White appeared to be a man of principle. Now, with these new rumors swirling, those principles may have been choked right out of White.
There is no doubt, spectators would raise a brow of interest if Taylor does indeed step into the octagon on July 19th. He has proven that he has what it takes to compete with top notch fighters, but his drunken antics may have made him more famous than his fighting prowess.
So why wouldn’t White attempt to reap the benefits and sign Taylor up for UFC Fight Night 14? Some might raise a brow of skepticism if White reneges and allows Taylor to fight in the UFC. But the bottom line is that Taylor would draw interest and put a few more dollars in White’s pocket. Keeping that in mind, there’s a good chance that these Taylor rumors just might turn into reality.
