Mike Dolce vs Jesse Taylor

Round 1

The fight gets under way. Taylor quickly gets Dolce's back and works for a rear-naked choke hold. Dolce is able to get a reverse and mounts Taylor. He throws some forearms and elbows, but Taylor is able to muscle out of his guard and re-mounts Taylor.

Dolce gives up his back and Taylor works most of the rest of the round trying to clamp in a rear-naked choke. Near the end of the round Taylor gives up on the hold and tries some ground and pound. He is hitting Dolce with hammerfists and elbows when the round ends.

Clearly Taylor's round.

Round 2

Dolce throws a right hand, Taylor takes him down easily. He gets into Dolce's half-guard, and pounds on him until Dolce gives up his back. Dolce is wearing out, and after a few more hammerfists, Taylo locks on the rear-naked choke hold again, but this time he gets under Dolce's chin and put's him to sleep.

Jesse Taylor winner by submission (rear-naked choke).

Upon winning, Taylor pukes in his corner. According to Forrest Griffin in his blog at INSIDE FIGHTING.com Taylor downed an energy drink right before the fight because he felt tired. While Forrest wasn't happy with Taylor's pre-fight snack, he was very impressed with Taylor's energy, and especially his wrestling ability, "He was very energetic, and when he got hit in the face, his wrestling came back."

Back in the dressing room while Dolce is trying to remember what happened, Dana surprises Taylor by not only giving him the normal $5,000 for winning, but a bonus $5,000 for winning by stoppage.

Dolce, shows little grace in his post-fight interview by questioning his coaches inability to know how to train him to his liking.

So, IFL vet Mike Dolce is out, and unfortunately so is wrestling standout Paul Bradley, but Patrick Schultz gets another chance.

And while TEAM GRIFFIN strikes first, it was a rough week for TEAM RAMPAGE, who lost both their # 3 and # 6 fighters and a big "no thank you" from Dolce to boot.

16 fighters entered the house, only 15 now remain and as the booming voice of the narrator says, "Who will survive the trial by fire and emerge as the next Ultimate Fighter?"
