Jesse Taylor notified of potential anti-doping violation

September 13, 2017 by Jason Cruz Leave a Comment

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.

They did this for Khabib in his last fight

Never seen such blatant corruption at a championship weigh in. Khamzat is one of the last to the scales and it takes all of 3 seconds for commission to shout “185” he doesn’t touch the scale at all, scale doesn’t even settle. Just gives him the weight. Insanity…

It is comical the UFC can be the most political sports organization in the history of American sports for clear aims (Ali Act, WH event) while promoting a candidate w/ the most extreme agenda in 50 years and when called to task for that help, pretend they're helpless observers.

Ali Wong's ex-husband got off easier than Russini's current husband.

Now that this Vrabel-Russini thing is full blown, will DC chill tomorrow on the #UFC weigh-in show with Sanko or no
