LAS VEGAS — Jesse Taylor first heard about the UFC’s idea of doing a “redemption” season of The Ultimate Fighter from longtime training partner Tom Gallicchio.
In Taylor’s mind, that kind of thing was made for him.
“Man,” Taylor said he told Gallicchio, “that’s about me.”
Taylor was infamously ousted from his spot in The Ultimate Fighter 7 finals back in 2008 after an alcohol-fueled night in Las Vegas. Taylor broke a limousine window and harassed women in a casino. He got another shot in the UFC after that at the time and lost.
