The final episode is here and it gets right down to business with the remaining semifinal fight between CB Dolloway and Amir Sadollah. The winner will meet Jesse Taylor at this Saturday’s live finale.
The general consensus is that Amir is the underdog but he’s proven a worthy opponent thus far and of course anything can happen.
Semifinal match #2: CB Dolloway (6-0) vs. Amir Sadollah (0-0)
Round 1: CB with a flurry. Amir backpedals. CB rushes again. Amir with a liver kick that drops CB but he rushes in and gets scooped and slammed. Amir in guard trying to make things hard on CB. Amir busy from the bottom. CB postures but lands nothing cleanly. CB trying to pick his spots but Amir is no easy target. CB gets sloppy and Amir escapes. Amir goes Superman and sneaks in a punch. CB stumbles into a takedown and Amir is back in guard. The round ends with CB trying to flatten him out while looking for a choke.
Round 2: CB with a jab and a kick. Amir rushes and lands a few punches and a knee. CB answers. Amir with a front kick that lands in CB’s midsection and crumbles him. Again Amir goes in and winds up on the floor. CB not doing much from the top while Amir is staying busy. CB gets sloppy and Amir locks in an armbar. He turns it but can’t secure it and loses his grip. CB gets back to mount. Amir is bleeding from the eye. Amir blinking heavily and may not be able to see. CB looks winded but continues to throw sporadically. Mazz has seen enough and stands them up. Amir landing punches and a nice kick but CB takes him back down. Round two ends with CB on top.
Round 3: Low kick by CB. Amir rushes but gets tied up. CB with a failed takedown. And another. Third time is the charm as Amir eats the floor. CB gets his back and sinks in the rear naked choke but Amir listens to his corner and turns into the hold and escapes. CB looks for a crucifix but instead ends up in a bizarre north/south. He turns and falls back into Amir’s guard. He tries to turn up the heat but instead turns into an armbar and it’s TIGHT. CB has nowhere to go and is forced to tap.
Amir Sadollah defeats CB Dolloway via submission (armbar).
Back in the locker room CB showers himself with disbelief. He admits to underestimating Amir and as a result he paid for it. Over on the other side Amir shares in that disbelief as he has his eye sewn back together.
Now that it’s all said and done we have Jesse Taylor vs. Amir Sadollah competing in the finale to decide who will be crowned The Ultimate Fighter.
Afterwards Dana explains how he wraps up the show by taking the guys out for a night on the town in the heart of Vegas. Well apparently one night was not enough for Jesse Taylor as Dana watches security footage of him pulling up to the Palace Station Hotel in a rented limo.
Taylor tries to exit the vehicle - Duke boys style - by kicking out the limo window. He then decides to storm the hotel and terrorize female bar patrons while screaming about how he is a UFC fighter. At least Danny Abaddi had enough sense to do it after a fight.
Dana calls in Forrest and Rampage to show them the tape and eventually gets Jesse Taylor in there to explain his actions. Taylor admits to binge drinking and going a wee bit overboard.
Dana tells him he isn’t ready for the UFC and gives his career a Viking funeral. Taylor chokes up and realizes he blew the chance of a lifetime. It was difficult to watch.
Now that it’s behind them, Dana and the coaches have to figure out how to fix the finale since its short by one person.
They bring back Tim Credeur and CB Dolloway and offer them a chance to fight each other for the opportunity to face Amir Sadollah in the live finale. Thankfully they ignore the trend of season’s past and actually say yes.
Will CB get a rematch? Or will Credeur finally show he’s ready for the big time?
Poor Amir gets dragged back to the gym and Dana drops the bomb on him. Now he gets a ringside seat to see who his new opponent will be.
Semifinal fight #3: Tim Credeur (10-2) vs CB Dolloway (6-0)
Round 1: Feeling out process as the guys trade punches. More exchanging. CB eats a few. CB with a low kick. Another. High kick by Tim and a low kick by CB. Two more. Some punches fly. Nice body shot by Tim. CB misses a high kick. Tim fires off a few punches and eats a kick to the shoulder. CB lands a nice body kick. Tim drops him with a right and pounces but gets rolled into guard after a quick recovery by CB. Tim tries to escape and winds up in a guillotine but finds a way out and they get back to their feet. Tim eats a big punch in the waning seconds and CB scores a takedown at his expense as the round expires. Very close.
Round 2: CB opens with a grazing high kick. CB with a ferocious takedown but Tim gets back to his feet. CB is backing Tim up with very aggressive striking. Tim slips avoiding a CB punch. Tim lands a few upkicks to the knees of CB and when he eventually gets to his feet he eats a solid low kick. Tim gets rocked by CB and goes into a heap. CB close to ending it. Tim hangs on and weathers the storm long enough to find his feet. He tries to counter with a flurry but CB is on stronger legs. Both look gassed as the guys slow their pace and swing wildly in between resting periods. Body shot by Tim sneaks in. Slow takedown by CB but it still gets an exhausted Tim to the ground. The round ends with Tim on bottom getting smothered.
Round 3: Tim eats two punches right out of the gate and gets taken down. He gets to his feet and tries to strike but CB is keeping him at bay with defensive kicks. Tim with a low kick. Both guys are wiped. CB gets another takedown. Not much happens and Tim finds his feet. Nice low kick by Tim. Tim tries to stuff the shoot but cannot. CB stands again and seems content to just stall and eat knee kicks. Tim back up. Tim with a flurry and gets taken down again. Once on the ground they pound away on each other in desperation until the round ends.
CB Dolloway defeats Tim Credeur via unanimous decision.
Now CB Dolloway will replace the deposed Jesse Taylor and rematch Amir Sadollah at the live finale.
Afterwards Dana gives both guys 10,000 for showing up and leaving it all in the cage. They earned it with a very entertaining battle. Rampage fades to black screaming “Rampage is back!”
I guess we’ll find out this Saturday at The Ultimate Fighter Finale live from The Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada.
See you then!

Amir Bandwagon!!!
I’m on!
Yep, I’m right there with you, and we won’t be alone. Any fan of MMA will be hoppin’ on too. I imagine there are more than a few people still staring at the t.v., in shock, saying “I can’t believe it, what the f*ck?” I’m watching the show at home alone and found myself applauding and yelling at my t.v. lol
I was screaming at my TV the whole fight. I was so stoked when he got him.
Been cheering Amir mostly because of the contrast to most fighters. The self mocking and humility is definitely endearing.
Not referring to himself in 3rd person is helping as well lol.
I wont be hoping on the bandwagon! If you look at this sites Archives, I stated Amir would be a sleeper this season after seeing his fight that earned him a spot on the show. Not a bad guess, considering he came into this season with a 0-0 record!
I based my oppinion on his strong mental game.
You called it John! But I don’t even think YOU had him to beat CB yesterday, right?
How about for the finals now? If CB won by decision and then Amir beat Tim, I think CB would be a pretty big favorite. Now it will be very close, or more than likely, Amir may be the favorite. I haven’t seen odds yet. Have you?
Jesse is first to get kicked out of finale, and I’m first to comment!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesse was boring anyway, glad he’s gone
lol, second, i tried to be the dbag who screamed first. also yeah, amir was my favorite on the show. i was soooo happy to see him get that armbar
If I was Rampage I would have4 punched CB right in his face! He didnt throw not 1 F’in jab! CB is the truth. At 24 his future is extremely bright, but he will need to do a couple things to win the Finale.
#1) Work that damn JAB!!
#2) Improved Cardio
#3) Respect Amir’s submissions. YOu cant be leaving your arm in there….
Thanks, Captain Obvious.
- CB
Alright Amir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can you not like Amir?
That dude oozes charisma and humility at the same time.
BTW- Anyone notice Dana acting like the Godfather, “This is my f*****g town, I know everything that f*****g goes on…”
That had me laughing for awhile. Dana is definitely a wannabe tough guy.
Jesse just needs to stop drinking. He is a “bad drunk.” I recommend AA for him. He will learn from his mistakes and be a better person for it. God bless him, I wish him the best.
Poor Jesse…He needs help with his drinking.
Yeah, I feel pretty bad for the guy. When he’s not drunk he seems like a good guy, but he brought it on himself.
I think CB will be brought back
Unfortunate, but I think you’re right. I believe that they should of flown in Tim and C.B. to fight to see who faces Amir. I think that will happen, and I think C.B. will defeat Tim, and we will see C.B. vs. Amir II in the Finals on Saturday.
Wow did you watch the show or something?
WOW! What a fight! I didn’t think it would happen, but way to go Amir. I know everyone says C.B. is a beast. And he is. But he showed himself to be a one dimensional beast. Amir showed a wide array of skills, very well rounded. You knew that this was going to be a big episode when the show went straight to the fight, and no commercials between the first two rounds. Everyone that visits this site called it. Jesse is a meathead. Hopefully he takes this for what it must be for him now: a learning experience.
Man did anyone notice in the commercial that they only showed CB and Amir that time. Either that or I’m seeing things
Oh rough for Jesse, but what an idiot.
I thought CB was gonna take that, and i wanted rampages team to win, but its really hard not to root for Amir.
I found myself rooting for Amir that whole fight.
We don’t need another dominant wrestler with no finishing skills like CB in the UFC anyway.
CB’s pro record:
6-0-0
4(T)KO
1Submission
1Decision
on the show
EP1 CB wins by TKO
EP8 CB wins by guillotine
EP10 CB wins by TKO
EP12 CB loses, CB wins by decision…
so that is 11 fights, 10 wins, 2 decisions…
Why do you say he has no finishing skills?
That said, I hope Amir kicks his ass
I hope it is matt brown… cant stand CB
should be someone from forrest team anyway because it was supposed to be that way
A while back it was announced that Matt Brown is fighting Matt Arroyo at the finale. It would have been pretty anti-climatic to have him brought back to try to win a spot in the finals…
Man - we need Jesse and the Crippler to have a drink off!!!
Hell yeah, once he’s out of jail it’s on!! Beer bonging contest, window kicking contest, it will be a blast.
Nice!!! Maybe we can get Red Bull as a sponsor…
I think that if it happens and Amir and CB II goes down and CB wins then Dana will give them both the contract since Amir beat him already
I am just glad he didn’t piss himself again and tell everyone he was a UFC fighter. He did it to himself.
please!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DO NOT BRING BACK C.B!!!
He Lost!!!! Bring back Tim!!!! We already seen Amir beat C.B. You know C.b was brought here “JUST” to be the winner if they AUTOMATICALLY bring him directly into the finals.
At least make someone fight to get the final spot!!!
You have to think, Koloski vs. Danzig last year happened twice.
I may be misremembering (sorry Mr. Clemens) but didn’t a few guys beg out of that fight against Mac, and Koloski was the only one who stepped up?
JT’s move was unfortunate. All good people have their deamons and I see good in him; he just needs to control his deamons better.
Perfect scenario, Tim VS. CB!!!!!!!!!!! WAR!!!!
Yeah, everyone does have them. I may have called Jesse a meathead, but I’ve done some pretty downright stupid things before as well. Granted he really took the opportunity of a lifetime and screwed the pooch with it. You gotta wish him luck, but I don’t see him EVER having what it takes to make waves in the UFC.
I know who wins this fight.. because I have read a rumor saying one of these guys will be fighting Rob Yundt instead of Rob Kimmons.
What?
I read/heard that the loser of this fight is fighting Rob Yundt instead of Rob Kimmons… thats what I heard/read.. so who knows.
CB Will dominate tim and then get his ass kicked on saturday on national tv
The UFC got what they wanted…..CB in the finals. CB would have to literally fall asleep in the octagon to lose. I give Tim a +1200 line. tahts about how much of a chance he has.
People get arrested all teh time. If it were a big name or someone else, say CB, they WOULD NOT OF got booted. Poor Jesse is boring as hell. And the UFC seen the PERFECT opportunity to kill 2 birds with 1 stone…
That being get CB where they thought he would be and get BORING ASS TAYLOR out of the finals.
Amir with no PROFESSIONAL fights has to beat someone with far more talent, NOW TWICE. Total horseshit!!!!!
“Burger King that shit” i love it!!!
War Griffin!!!!
how do you guys know this??
CB was taking more shots than Jesse on a bender.
Zing?
INCREDIBLE 1st Round.
Burger King!! CB is far from the future…….
Jesse is a sac of crap.
Really hes no better than the spaz that was trying to get under his skin earlier this month.
Alot of immature guys in the house.
SPAZ
Does Tim’s striking look better?
I was thinking the same thing. He looks much better…
agreed
Yeah it does. both looked gassed though
He looked pretty sharp on his feet.
It’s hard to say if Credeur’s striking was better since he didn’t actually throw a punch in his 15 minutes against Boozie McDryhump.
“Boozie McDryhump”
lmao!
I think the decision to kick Jesse off was bullshit. There are plenty of UFC fighters past and present who have done a lot worse than kick out a window and pester women at a bar. Chris Leben has been in all sorts of legal trouble. So has BJ Penn. Many are felons and have assault records. (Assault is a hell of a lot worse than kicking out a window and being an ass to security guards and some women, if you ask me.) So I guess the question is, when is Dana going to be consistent in his treatment of behavior outside the octagon? This is really ridiculous considering the show actively promotes having their fighters tear the ever-loving crap out of a house and destroy property as a premise of the show, all while acting like drunken assholes, just to get ratings. So if you’re acting like an ass and destroying property in the UFC house, it’s all good, but if you do it to a limo and people at a bar, it’s suddenly different. Call me crazy, but this seems pretty silly.
However, I am excited to potentially see CB take on Amir again. I actually would like to see the rematch, as this will pretty much cement whether CB or Amir are the real deal.
I completely disagree–I see this as Dana being remarkably consistent. He’s talked every season about how the public perception of the fighters is one of the most important things to him, so when you have someone like Jesse going out and acting like a douche screaming “I’m a UFC fighter! ROAR!”, he should bring the hammer down.
If JT had been in the UFC already Dana would have been diffrent, how would you feel if you were potentialy going to sign a fighter who went and mouthed off Do You Know Who I Am, Im A UFC fighter, it is bad publicity, i’m not saying i’m a saint, but, in my opinion Dana was justified
totally a bullshit move by dana white. jesse’s a boring lay and prayer, so the kicked him off. it’s NOT consistent, it’s something they could have never mentioned and it would have never seen the light of day. They keep propping up jackasses like koppenhaver and rob emerson, and this guy does nothing more than have a jocko freakout, suddenly he’s not “carrying himself” up to UFC standards? TOTAL BULLSHIT. I’m no Taylor fan, but this is an assraping by the UFC. the kid won.
Some very good points, but I think it just hit Dana close to home; Video/casino ties/1st hand info from security. Probably terrorizing innocent bystanders while screaming out UFC, was the clincher. Plus White just doesn’t like Jesse and can’t see marketing him, his biases is transparent.
Dana White is not about to let ANYBODY embarass his company, especially not in “his town,” super-especially not a guy who isn’t even a UFC fighter yet, and super-duper-especially not a guy who will never be on the televised portion of a PPV card unless he is being fed to someone good.
CB SUCKS!!
Why is it that nobody has the cardio on this show to go 3 rounds. CB has gassed every match, same with Tim.
They had 5 fights in like 7 weeks time. That is ALOT
God what a fight! Tim and C.B are beating the living sh*t out of each other. Nice exchanges, taking turns dominating the fight, lot of heart in this one as well. C.B. doesn’t look himself yet again. Not sure whether we overhyped him some or whether Tim (who looks 10 times better!!!!) and Amir are simply bad matchups for him.
c’mon 3rd round arm bar. i believe in miracles tim. my fav. amir did it and i’d rather see him fight you than cb again.
Why do I find myself yawning every time C.B. gets a takedown?
CoCo the monkey has a serious drinking problem. no professionalism.
Tim’s badass body shots led to C.B. gassing at the end of the 2nd round. C.B. just took Tim down to use him as a body pillow for some much needed rest!
IMO cb’s kinda boring to watch these last 2 fights
cb is booooooooooooring
gassed lay and pray wow what an overhyped joke
Agreed, no need to watch CB lay on top of Amir for another 15 minutes….
Disappointing.
At least Coco threw strikes when he was on top.
Really wish Tim would’ve taken this, he must’ve been training hard cuz he looked vastly improved. On a TUF season that was overall VERY weak, this was a GREAT show tonight. Best one of the season and I can’t wait for Saturday. WAR Amir (I hate that stupid saying, but it seems fitting at the moment..just this once.)
CB = TOOL
Tim = Pure class
All CB had to say was “what a relief” and now “he gets to have his rememption against Amir” He is lucky as fuck that Jesse is boring and that they EVEN brought him back. CB never said, wow what an opportunity. I get a 2nd opportunity of a lifetime!! I lost and get a 2nd chance to fight. Defintiely lost what little respect I had for CB. No he acts like he shoudl be delivered to the finals with a thrown on
On the other hand, Tim is pure class, win or lose. He knew what an opportunity and treated it as such.
Last note, I hope the 0 - 0 amir owns CB AGAIN. I hope CB gasses again in the 2nd round and Amir knocks that underbite into no teeth.
WAR Amir!!!!!
I like CB more than Tim, but I would of liked to see Tim fight Amir. Tim’s punches are way too light to do any damage, he was smacking CB’s chin back and forth and only managed to drop him once… Really hope Amir takes the win.
i think tim should have won. i at least saw it as a split, and NOT unanimous. but wutever. tim vs amir would have been a good fight, and i dont (and apparantly so do alot of others) want to see amir/cb II.
i’ve said this before, but tim looks way to small for 185 anyway.
YEA, unlike most of you other guys i wuz goin for amir since Day 1, i liked his comments “i’m a little pretty” haha…
take it all da way amir!!
I hope Amir punches CB so hard that CB’s upper lip actually comes all the way down.
LOL - CB is a self-important chump. War Amir!
does anyone know if this is online anywhere yet. i HAD to miss it and really sux.
Hometown boy makes good….go Amir! Please send CB’s doo-doo smelling upper lip through the back of his head
just finished watching the fight(i work midnights)
Amir is a one tough dude!!..he took some big shots..That was one hell of a fight..Glad that there is going to be a re-match, and it’s this weekend!!
Stoked Amir is in the Finale. I want him to beat CB again, i don’t like CB too much.
Anyone think Amir will cut down to WW or LW? He seems like a small dude like
Dana White probably had an orgasm when he saw the vid of Jesse making an a** of himself.
He couldn’t wait to get rid of this guy…What a stiff!
Just what the UFC needs…another lay & pray fighter.
GSP has the position all locked up for now Jesse. He doesn’t want anyone to hit him either.
That’s what you do when you’re a Pussy & you don’t want anyone to hit you, …you take the guy down and lay on top of him like your starring in a GAY porno.
GOOD RIDDANCE!
Cb shouldn’t be there he is only bad for the first 3 min. then he has no gas left and just holds them down doing nothing he is a joke
yeah jesse has a drinking problem, but still i swear to god when he ran around yelling “dude watch your step i just totally pissed my pants!” that was the awesomest/funniest thing ive ever seen
