Jesse Taylor is back to seeking redemption.
Taylor told BloodyElbow.com earlier this week that he was released by the UFC last Saturday. He received a release email, plus a second email notifying him he was no longer in the USADA testing pool, that morning.
“I kind of laughed,” Taylor said. “I was like, ‘Are you serious?’ I was giving [the UFC] sh-t, like, ‘Hey, give me a fight, or let me know what’s going on.’ And that’s what I got — an email.”
The UFC did not return a request for comment sent Thursday.
