UFC 85: Paul Taylor vs. Jess Liaudin
Jess Liaudin posted a myspace bulletin yesterday announcing that he will face Paul Taylor at UFC 85 in London, England on June 14th. The bout, which will be on the preliminary card of the event, offers the fighters a long-awaited rematch from a 2003 Cage Rage meeting where Liaudin lost to Taylor via decision.
French-born Jess “The Joker†Liaudin (12-9, 2-1 UFC) competed in a variety of promotions since 2000 before signing a three-fight contract with the UFC in 2007. Liaudin is coming off of a knockout loss to Marcus Davis at UFC 80, but prior to that Liaudin put up back-to-back wins over Dennis Siver and Anthony Torres.
English-native Paul Taylor (8-3-1, 1-2 UFC) also came to the UFC in 2007, winning his first bout in the promotion against Edilberto de Oliveira. He most recently lost a decision to Paul Kelly at UFC 80 and was previously submitted by Marcus Davis at UFC 75.

paul taylor is the man. i really wish that the UFC would promote him more to get into the UK market than Fag Bisping. Even the last two losses the guy had were great fights to watch.
paul taylor very exciting fighter to watch
god, paul taylor is such an awesome fighter, and id hate to see him lose 3 straight, but liaudin is one of my fav fighters, and id hate to see him lose too. i wish they would give liaudin that other britt that beat taylor by wrestling him, id like to see him lose.
ya, i’d rather watch paul taylor lose a fight then sean sherk win by just laying on top of a guy. the guy’s an animal and he always puts on a good show. too bad they’re in a different weight class, cuz it would be awesome to see taylor fight guida cuz that’s another guy that win, lose or draw, you’re just happy to watch the fight.
Lee Harlock Sucks.
Just for the record: it’s Dennis “Siver”, not “Silver”.
Thanks glassjaw, got it corrected.
I was hoping he was going to be fighting (JK) War, and after Jon’s fight was announced I sighed. But I’ll sure take this fight. Pauly has some crazy heart.
has anyone else heard mike swick is gonna fight marcus davis. i saw mike last friday in san jose at AKA and i shouldve asked him…
Paul Taylor is one of the better fighters coming out of the uk. Also Dan “the outlaw” Hardy has some amazing stand up (kicks) he has just signed with the UFC and also on UFC85 fight card is Neil Wain. he is short for a heavyweight but is a f*ckin animal check both out on you tube!
