The TUF 7 Finale weigh-in at the Palms in Las Vegas was highlighted by a who's who of fighters.

UFC light heavyweight champ Rampage Jackson was hanging out, as was heavyweight title contender Cheick Kongo. Former UFC middleweight Rich Franklin was there with Dustin Hazelett.

The media's top MMA fighter Jay Glazer, from Fox NFL, was there as well. He appeared to be there supporting finalist C.B. Dollaway.

Plus the entire cast from TUF 7 was in attendance. And I mean the entire cast.

That's right Jesse Taylor, who just made reality TV history by being booted from UFC's show after the taping had ended, was milling around the Palms.

He looked to be in good spirits and the fans were 100% supportive of Taylor.

Yahoo! Sports spoke with Taylor on Friday about what's next:

"I'm still with (UFC). I just want to fight again. After this week we're going to see how things go. So I have to be good in Vegas this week. No hanky-panky. As of right now, more likely than not, I'll be back in the UFC."

This guy has the potential to to be a good fighter but he has to work on few things. As far as fighting goes he runs out of gas to quick so he's got to work on that but the bigger issue is his drinking because he obviously can't handle booze.

Yes he made a mistake but i felt his punishment was harsh for incident.

A horrible lapse of judgement, and hopefully a lesson learned...I think we'll see him again! Good luck.

warchild
please...what makes you so sure griff a beat page? and y is everyone hating on C.B.? is it his fault white favors talent? like it or not bra, he's the next big thing at middle or welter...the future. so white wanted to pump him up and ride the money train, don't you like money? ok so you would too. the same thing was about to happen with houston until he started losing. he would have been a big draw right now, almost on leddell's level, had he stayed undefeated in ufc. get wit the program and be smart before you post bull cause true mma fans/practitioners or gonna eat you alive everytime.
peace and respect to you though bra.

oh, and Jess deserves another chance. yes he made a bad chose and inbarrased the MMA world, but he needs one last shot to redeem himself or that's it. he already missed out on a lot by being booted off the show so i think he learned his lesson while watching someone else get the benifits

The TUF Finale was solid. Congrats Amir.
Any chance "Nightmare" Sanchez can change his nickname to "Dirty"?

First off....Demarcus B....please try to be literate when you post!!
Secondly......Jesse....if you really want a shot at being a MMA fighter....go to rehab and join AA! I am not kidding....this will show your commitment to the sport and most of all will go a long way toward taking away the shame that you brought to yourself and your family on national TV.....so shame on you Jesse.....but everyone does deserve a second chance.....but you have to work for it and prove your worthiness.....and simply saying you have cleaned up is not good enough!!
Third.....I agree...Dana White is a manipulative prick but he runs the show....so get used to it! Until there is a solid competition to the UFC in the sport of MMA fighting....Dana will control it all!!

Amir's ground game has improved 500% during the course of TUF season... While I still think Dollaway destroyed him on the ground in the semifinals, Amir figured it out by the finals. Congrats to Amir....
