Jesse Taylor (born January 2, 1983) is an American professionalmixed martial arts (MMA) and10th PlanetBrazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt fighter who last competed in theWelterweight division.[2] A professional competitor from 2006 to 2023, he was a cast member ofSpikeTV'sThe Ultimate Fighter 7, winning his entry, preliminary,quarterfinal andsemi-final matches, and then became infamous for being the only fighter to ever be removed from finals due to events that occurred after filming was completed.[3] Taylor later wonThe Ultimate Fighter: Redemption Welterweight Tournament,[3] and has also fought for top promotions such as UFC,Strikeforce,DREAM,MFC,AFC,Impact FC,Shark Fights,Cage Warriors andAbsolute Championship Berkut.[4]
Jesse Taylor also known as "JT Money", graduated Poway High School where he was a wrestler. After high school Jesse attendedSan Francisco State university. He tookJiu-Jitsu classes but decided to stick to wrestling.[2] When things did not work out inSan Francisco he moved back down toSan Diego, where he then attendedPalomar College nearSan Diego. In junior college, Taylor became a two-time JCAll-American, CCCAA State runner-up in 2003, and crowned California Junior College State Champion in 2004, only losing three matches. Taylor was then rewarded with a scholarship toCal State Fullerton. After the birth of his son, it became harder for Taylor to concentrate onWrestling and school while adjusting to the family life. Taylor still managed to qualify for the Division 1NCAA Tournament and was 3rd in thePac-10's. He was also college teammates with 2x UFC champion TJ Dillashaw at Cal State-Fullerton.[citation needed]
After realizing there was no money in wrestling after college (a sentiment echoed by many former collegiate wrestlers, includingMatt Hughes,Randy Couture, andBobby Lashley), Taylor tried to think of a way to still compete and make a living for him and his son. He then decided to givemixed martial arts a real try.[2] An old wrestling friend of his invited him for aTeam Quest workout, where Taylor was able to spar with fighters such asDan Henderson,Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou, andJason Miller.[5] He picked upJiu Jitsu quickly, and worked to improve his striking. After only about a month of training, Taylor took a fight against a much more established fighter and was victorious. A few years later Jesse got the chance to be on the seventh season of the hit reality television seriesThe Ultimate Fighter[6]
In the second episode Jesse Taylor won his entry match against Nick Rossborough byrear naked choke. After all entry matches were done the teams were to pick the fighters that they wanted. Taylor was picked sixth overall byForrest Griffin. WithQuinton Jackson getting the first pick for fighters, Griffin was to choose the first preliminary fight. Griffin chose Taylor to take on Mike Dolce; In the second round, Taylor won the fight again via arear naked choke. Taylor's quarterfinal fight was againstDante Rivera, which Taylor also won, this time via unanimous decision. Taylor had now advanced to the semi-finals against his close friendTim Credeur, a fight which Taylor won by unanimous decision, putting him into the finals.[7]
Taylor was removed from the finals after a security recording was presented toDana White. He was shown kicking out one of the side windows of a rented limousine. The staff of the hotel where the incident occurred reported that a drunken Taylor had frightened female patrons and confronted hotel security by acting aggressively and screaming that he was aUFC fighter.[8] White told Taylor that this type of behavior was unacceptable, and that he believed Taylor did not possess the mental discipline to deal with the pressures of fame and popularity that being in the UFC would put on him. White told Taylor that because of his actions he had forfeited his place in the final match, a decision that an emotional Taylor did not try to protest. However, White went on to thank Taylor for his efforts in the show, and advised him to "go home, get your life together, call me in a few months". Later, in the July fight promo footage forUFC: Silva vs. Irvin, White recounted a conversation he had with Taylor:[7]
He told me, "I'm in AA now. I've totally got my life together. It's the biggest mistake I've ever made. And I'll never do it again, I'll never disappoint you or the UFC again." And I believed what he said, so, I'm bringing him back.
— Dana White, UFC president[9]
