The night a UFC prospect flushed his dream down the toilet

By Steve Cofield

The Ultimate Fighter 'Team Forrest v. Team Rampage' delivered in a big way with its 'most shocking final episode ever' show on Wednesday.

Here's the full recap of Episode 12 from MMAJunkie.

Here's the short version. Jesse Taylor, who was already in the TUF 7 Finale slated for this Saturday night on Spike TV, was booted from UFC. .

For Taylor, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas but it also stays on camera.

Taylor and a crew of fighters from the show decided to party for one last night in Las Vegas after the six weeks of taping for the reality show was finished.

They hit several spots including Pure Nightclub at Caesar's. As the night was winding down, the fighter's limo hit the Palace Station all hell broke loose. Taylor kicked out the window of the limousine and then went into Palace Station to wreak havoc. He harrassed women and then hassled Palace security. Worst of all, he pulled out the "Do you know who I am?" card. The buried himself by yelling, "I'm a UFC fighter!"

All this lead to Taylor being thrown out of the TUF 7 Finale this weekend and a shot at a six-figure contract with the organization is bye-bye.

With Taylor gone, C.B. Dollaway and Tim Credeur got a second chance to reach the final and Dollaway came away with a hard fought victory to close out the episode.

C.B. Dollaway provides a first hand account of what transpired with Taylor that night. He was one of the guys in the limo with Taylor before he lost his mind.

Yahoo! Sports sat down with Dollaway on the eve of his fight with Amir Sadollah. Listen to the interview after the jump.

Dollaway said he was in the limo with fellow cast members Matt Brown, Matt Riddle, Taylor and several others. They came from Caesar's where they were hanging out with UFC light heavyweight champion Rampage Jackson. Additional cast members at Pure included Patrick Schultz, Dan Cramer, Gerald Harris, Brandon Sene and Mike Dolce.

"I was the guy yelling at him in the lobby. When security came almost started getting violent with them. The wrong place to go terrorizing people in the place, basically in your bosses' casino."

Dollaway initially thought he may be in trouble just for being with Taylor.

    I knew CB would be in the finals after he posted a blog a week or two ago saying "I think the best two fighters are in the finals". I guess if you lose then back your way into the finals you should be considered on of the best fighters on the show? Please. That guys got a serious ego trip.

    Hey JT....the next time somebody gives you a winning lottery ticket, cash it in "moron" don't tear it up and flush it down the toilet. Dana did the right thing by cutting him loose for the finale, this guy is everything the UFC doesn't need. Incredible!

    Though another thing I have to say is that, this season has to be the weakest season off all. I thought that nothing could top the boring season with Matt Sera, Shone Carter, and all those other bums. I mean both the winners Matt Sera, Travis Lutter have both had their 15 mins of fame. Matt Sera longer than Lutter because he wanted to nurse a back injury that took a year to overcome. Lutter doing a good job in the 1st rd, to get his @$$ whooped in the 2nd like everyone else. Lets really pray for a Grreeaat season 8, and hav to wait another year for a Heavy Weight Title fight.

    As sin has posted, this group was the worst in terms of talent.. amir seems like a cool guy, but a finalist for a spot in the ufc?? maybe the talent is not as great and just maybe this sport is growing faster than the talent. most sports start in childhood and guys are ready to break out in late teens early twenties. have these guys been doing mma for say 10 to 15 years?? on a competetive level ?? i think not. and when i say competitive, i mean any kind of contact sport from boxing to wrestling..

    How can you say Amir has no ground game? He submitted CB from the ground and he submitted Matt Brown from the ground. Do you understand jiu-jitsu? The accurate statement is that Amir has no wrestling.

    CB and his buddy from AZ probably got Jesse way drunk hoping he'd turn into Mr. Hyde that night and maybe giving CB a chance to get back into the finals. CB is sneaky and said in his own blog he gave an already massively drunk Jesse a bottle of gin when he asked for some water. wound up puking all over the hot tub. no doubt he's a drunken fool but he might have gotten some "encouragement" that night.

    "When he was in the hot tub all drunk, he asked for “one more drink.” I figured I would add fuel to the fire, and I headed in and grabbed a bottle of gin and handed it to him. He didnât look at it or anything; he just grabbed it and started chugging it. As the bottle emptied into his body, he got a strange look on his face and stopped drinking and said “YUCKIE” and then started throwing up in the hot tub. He then jumped into the ice-cold pool to rinse the puke off him. Yes, they had to drain the hot tub after this incident."

    You can't say that just because he accidently put two guys in an armbar that he knows jiu-jitsu. I love Amir and I want him to destroy Dollaway, but the kid has no idea what to do outside of striking.

    I feel the finale is tainted due to JT and his stupidity. I really respect Dana White and the position he was in. However, the finale with C.B. will not be as exciting because he does not deserve it. You cannot like this guy if you watched or heard him during this season.

    Dana got jt drunk. Dana knew what he was like in the house when he drank .. Dana Should of told him in the house you can;t trash our house or drink so he sent mixed signals . It was ok for ratings! Dana even said he would take them out to party after the show. I am not a jt fan ,but he won his matches and he should be fighting this final fight not cb he lost already.... Why do you think they let them drink at the house they want all the drama from it ..

    To the moron who made the comment about the house being trashed...yes they do that every season, but they are not in public, and there are no innocient women there, being harrased and do you act the same way at home as you do in public? You are more worried about a 300,000 home than the women....WHATEVER

    That surprised me, when I found out who Jesse Taylor was. I was one of the security involved that night. I was curious why everyone kept saying his name. I thought he was just another tourists who had a little too good of a time in Vegas. Its a shame that one stupid mistake had such an impact on him. Let it be known to future UF competitors, the last place you want to act a fool is Palace Station. Its the flag ship of Station Casinos who's owners also own UFC and Dana White visits quite frequently.
