Spike TV Confirms Ultimate Fighter 7 Finalist Removed From Finale

Posted by Kris Karkoski on Jun 18, 2008 at 12:21 pm ET41 Comments

Spike TV LogoIn what is being called the most shocking twist ever on The Ultimate Fighter, one of the middleweight tournament’s finalists will indeed be ousted from the competition following an incident that will air tonight during a special 90-minute episode of The Ultimate Fighter 7 on Spike TV.

Spike TV has issued the following announcement regarding tonight’s final episode:

In one of the most stunning twists in the history of the Ultimate Fighter, for the first time, a gladiator who endured through six weeks of living in seclusion with fifteen other mixed martial artists in the Las Vegas desert, and defeated three of his housemates for the right to fight for a guaranteed six figure contract with the UFC, will not be participating in the show’s live finale.

Viewers can find out what the ousted fighter has to say for himself exclusively at Spike.com, where a video interview will post at Wednesday, June 18th at 11:30pm EST.

Based on the release the eliminated fighter will be Jesse Taylor, CB Dollaway, or Amir Sadollah. Taylor qualified for the final bout with a victory on last week’s episode while Dollaway and Sadollah clash on tonight’s episode in a battle for remaining finals spot.

A video of the incident depicting someone breaking out the window of a limosine has been shown during previews for tonight’s final episode. Though the circumstances surrounding the incident are currently unknown, everything should become clear following tonight’s episode and subsequent interview with the ousted fighter.

    I hope its Taylor getting the boot, funny guy but his fights are soooooooo boring

  • FixXeR says:

    We all know its Taylor. He almost got kicked out by kicking Jeremy Mays ass….which would have been even better than seing him win in the finale. Amir and CB are way to calm to be breaking out windows.

  • YZFOXRACING says:

    I FEEL YA JPM… I CAN’T STAND WATCHING HIM FIGHT

  • huertarogerhuerta says:

    JT Money reminds me of napolian dynamite or any other character that guy plays and i hated that movie so i really hope its JT hopefully Jeremy May will run up and say something stupid so JT will put his head thru the window now although thats way more entertainin then any of JTs fights have been still either way ur a moron for gettin kicked off the finale amir and cb in the finale i demand it!!!!

  • rutdog says:

    I have to think that CB beats Amir for the right to fight. Taylor has been pretty dumb, so I could see him getting the boot. Now who would replace him to fight in the finale is the question?

  • YZFOXRACING says:

    LETS SAY IT IS JT MONEY WHAT WILL THEY DO. WILL THE FINALE BE CB AND AMIR OR BRING SOMEONE IN. IF THEY DO ID LIKE TO SEE HARRIS

  • Dirty says:

    Ya, everyone thinks its Jesse because of his pig eating, getting smashed, fighting with ppl…..etc ..its the obvious choice but i have a feeling its not him….

    It could be anyone of the 3 …. there all strong fighters with tempers, have been in the house a long time. … anybody might snap !

    If anything Jesse might be calmer now since hes already ruined most of the house……

  • Jason N. says:

    It will be CB vs Tim in the Finale…though I want to see Harris too but they cant justify giving him a shot at #1 when he didnt win… (after being in the house)…so they will give it to Tim since he lost to Taylor…

  • JOHNBOY says:

    huertarogerhuerta that post tickled me haha

    i think it will be taylor hes a hot head and i can just see him doing something like that. CB will win the show hes was my pic at the start an he looks like the only fighter who would cut it in the ufc, i like the young lad tho cant remember his name but he lives wiv his mum, nowt wrong wiv that by the way haha

    may also makes me laugh i can see why people dont like him if i was in the house i probley wunt like him but its funny how he winds evey1 up.

  • A lonley jew says:

    What a dick !
    I guarantee you who ever it is he will be the new poster child/main eventer for the Gary Shaw freakshow that is EliteWCW.

  • cvkid says:

    If you look I believe its taylor cause the guy walking out has his bulky shoulders. I think its jesse an I hope it is cause he is ****ing boring.

  • Dannyboy says:

    Wow some people will use any excuse to bash the EliteXC. So very sad.

    I hope Jesse gets kicked off…it would be sad to see CB taken out because he truly is talented, albeit a bit cocky. But he DID submit Rampage pretty easily during training…not sure Rampage expected it either.

  • A lonley jew says:

    I like EliteXC shows honestly i thought Destiny was a great show i just dont like Gary Shaw he is the cancer of MMA.

  • YZFOXRACING says:

    DUDE I THINK ELITEXC IS TRASH. WHATS GREAT ABOUT IT. I KNOW ITS NOT THE DANCERS THATS HORRIBLE. AND MOST FIGHTERS ARE GARBAGE. PEOPLE WATCH IT ONLY CUZ ITS THE ONLY MMA ON TV AT THE TIME. THE ONLY LEGIT FIGHT I THINK IS LAWLER AND SMITH. AND BOTH CAME FROM UFC.

    RANDOM:
    I WAS WATCH TUF SEASON 5 WITH PENN AND PULVER. I REALIZED I CAN’T STAND MANNY GAMBURYAN. THE DUDE IS ANNOYING. HE ACTS ALL HARD AND SAME WITH NATE DIAZ. SORRY I HAD TO SAY SOMETHING HA HA HA

  • RLT says:

    As much as I laughed at Jesse during the season, I’ll have to agree that his fights are boring. I think Dana would be more than happy to get rid of him considering he seems to have openly critized a couple of his performances. Does anybody else get the feeling that if CB were to smash that window he still would be with the UFC? Maybe I’m proven wrong tonight.

  • kevin r says:

    j.t is a very boring fighter my favorite fighter was tim i beleive he ran out of gas the first round he took a good licking however if they fought 10 times time would win 7 out of the 10.If C.B. win witch he will he is also very boring to watch to cocky a good bjj with good striking he is done.A guy like Chris Leaben would knock him out. I belive Aimir will be invited to the ufc Dana like s the nuts like him and so do I

  • Dannyboy says:

    RLT, I couldn’t have said it better myself. Dana obviously has a twinkle in his eye for CB. It would be sad if he loses tonight.

  • Dave, Md says:

    I agree with all Jessie is a boring fighter.. I hope it is him, but you know wahat everyone is saying its him so watch it be someone else….

    My money is that JT is gone though

  • kelvin says:

    go to ufc.com and check out the preview for the episode tonight…is it me or does it seem like the window doesn’t just get broken, but gets SHOT?! look at the guy walking up to the window, he puts his arm out, then “BANG”, the window breaks! whoever it is, i can see y dana is kicking him out of the show and out of the ufc for good.

  • John Blaze says:

    ny news on this huge annoucment?

  • Tmoney says:

    kelvin,
    that struck me as odd too. it looked like it was the window on the other side of the car.

  • sgtrocknroll says:

    99% sure it’s Jesse,,,,,buuutttt,,,,that’s sooo obvious I think the 1% chance its Dollaway. Now that would be shocking!…Yes Jesse’s fights are boring, but CB is the most assine punk I’ve ever seen. Would be great if it was Dollaway!

  • whiteboy says:

    I heard that its a taliban hit by Amir on Dana

  • rutdog says:

    How can you all tell that the person in the limo has broad shoulders? All I could see was a window breaking and barely that.

  • KOuch says:

    PLEASE MMA GODS!!!! PLEASE make Taylor go away. He is the second coming of Tommy Speers. PLEASE!!!

  • d318spence says:

    Here is my two cents worth. First, this was all filmed month’s ago. Since the show started, CB has been doing a weekly blog and launched a new web site with sponsors. That doesn’t seem consistent with someone kicked off the show and no future career in the UFC. Amir also has a blog and Luke’s blog says Amir doesn’t drink at all. That alone makes it unlikely that he did it! That leaves Jesse. If he has a blog for the show or a web site, I haven’t been able to find them. Pretty invisible for someone that is going to fight for a $100,000 contract with the UFC. I guess we will all know tonight!

  • WM says:

    The trailers they showed of the window being blown out of the limo seemed to demoralize Rampage and entertain Griffin – I think CB has blown his shot. Too bad if this is the case because I don’t reaaly care for JT’s fight game.

  • Dietrich says:

    I think I will wait till Saturday to see who’s fighting. I can’t believe it happened,but then alot of the stuff that has happened on the show seems to fall 3 standard deviations from the mean.

  • Spud says:

    Taylor is way better than Tommy Speers. That was pretty great seeing Speers get destroyed by Anthony Johnson.

  • kelvin says:

    someone’s shooting at rampage and his boyfriend bisping in the limo!!

  • Dietrich says:

    Kelvin,
    I just thought Bisping paid Rampage to be his friend because I can’t imagine Rampage hanging out with him. Ship the count to Iron Ring.

  • WM says:

    Kelvin – I never thought of the whole lovers triangle thing! I think you nailed it.

  • JOHNBOY says:

    after watching the tape about 10 times (sad i know) it looks like CB getting out the car, if i had to place cash on it ide go for CB!

  • abi says:

    my money goes to CB man!! because from the preview i see rampage quite frustrated and shocked about it, while forrest reacts with a smirk on his face… (you never see rampage frustrated if someone who doesn’t have any relation with him, he might just laugh and joking about it)

  • Krav138 says:

    JT is an idiot!!!

  • JAI says:

    Hopefully this will help JT grow up a bit. He always seemed kind of childish to me while on the show.

  • Dietrich says:

    I wonder if this gets top 5 on the next highlight show.

  • Dietrich says:

    Lines that never work in bars…
    #2 I work for the CIA…
    NEW #1 I am a UFC fighter
