The Ultimate Fighter Redemption winner, Jesse Taylor, has been notified by USADA of a potential anti-doping violation and has been pulled from his fight at UFC Fight Night 121.
He was notified of a flagged out-of-competition sample collected on August 22nd.
Taylor was to face Belal Muhammad in Sydney on November 19th.
Payout Perspective:
This is bittersweet for many that rooted for Taylor as he was infamously kicked off of the 7th season of TUF prior to the Finale. After one loss in the UFC, he was cut and spent most of his career traveling the world fighting in different promotions. This TUF season, he made it back to the Finale and was successful this past July. Now, it appears that he may be looking at another departure from the UFC based on the results of this violation. We shall see what becomes of JT.
