Just added to the Fight Night 14 the Silva vs. Irvin card is you guessed it CB Dollaway vs. Jesse Taylor...I didn't take long for Taylor to make his way back into the UFC after his drunken rampage that got him kicked off the finale...It is good to see that he is getting a second chance but his opponant will be out for blood after suffering a first round submission loss.....This should be a good fight I hope that Taylor wins to start his UFC debut the way it should have been...
Even though Jesse looked like a Jerk on the show I will give him the win against CB. That will make CB 0-2 in the UFC. Not a good start. He lost in the semis and should not have been given the shot for the finals, that priviledge should have gone to Tim. Serves CB right, he'll probably tap and then dispute it as they are showing a replay on the big screens.
Jesse did a lot of lay and pray during his fights on the show. I don't think Dana was to impressed with his fights. He will get better as his training progresses hopefully but it will be interesting to see if CB goes for the take downs in this fight or tries to keep it standing. Jesse might be strong enough on the ground to reverse at will and we did not see much of JT's striking on the show. I think CB tries to keep it standing.
One other thing. ochocinco why 81? OC is 85?(I know, I know, 85 was taken)
Either way I see this as a pretty boring fight. I for one really don't want to see it. This is one of those fights tht they will show on a fight night live as the first fight of the night. I do think jesse is strong enough to at least manhandle his way out of any real takedown but neither are just really good standing so unless someone lands a lucky punch it's a split decision victory.
CB is a cocky jerk who got beat twice by an ordianry fighter with the same move. WIll see if Amir turns into a stud. Jesse was a jerk but maybe it was the alcohol, if he quit the juice he may have a new attitude towards life and not be such an diot.
Jesse will win the fight, a boring three round wrestling match.
