Jesse Taylor defeats Jason Day in battle of UFC vets at Aggression MMA: 'Vengeance'

Lubbock, Texas wasn't the only city that played host to some exciting mixed martial arts action on the eve of UFC 109. Aggression MMA held their second show -- Vengeance --  in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Every single bout on the nine-fight card saw it's conclusion come before the final bell sounded. 

Taylor (14-5), best known for his "eventful" stint on the seventh season of TUF, took on Jason Day in the main event. Though "JT Money" would win his first three fights in the reality show competition earning himself a spot in the finals, Taylor was promptly kicked off the show following a wild night out on the town where his behavior proved to be too unruly for him to remain a part of the cast.

While he did get a second chance with the promotion in the summer of 2008, where he lost to fellow TUF 7 competitor C.B. Dollaway, Taylor has yet to grace the Octagon since. He has however, remained very active, and successful, winning eight of his last ten fights.

Taylor's opponent in the main event, Jason "Dooms" Day (18-9), was released from the UFC following back-to-back losses to Michael Bisping at UFC 85 and Kendall Grove at UFC 96. Prior to the fight with Taylor, Day submitted Trevor Stewardson at Rumble in the Cage 35.

With a first round submission (rear naked choke) victory over Day in round one, Taylor's impressive string of fights may just earn him some bigger name fights in Strikeforce or DREAM, where he is currently under contract.
