- C.B. DOLLAWAY COMMENTS ON "THE TAP"

Dollaway got a second chance at becoming "The Ultimate Fighter," and
a second chance to defeat Amir Sadollah, who eliminated him from The Ultimate
Fighter 7 competition. Dollaway was then brought back when finalist Jesse
Taylor was kicked off the show for his conduct only days after filming
concluded.
Dollaway
lost to Sadollah by arm bar, again, and spoke with the media about the tap that
he wishes he could take back.
"With
the tap, I didn't fully commit to the tap, but I did hit him once," said
the Tempe, Ariz. native. "I guess they ruled that a tap. I
thought you had to go on and start tapping out. I did hit him once.
Right as I did that, I felt my arm get into a position where I could get out.
At that point Herb (Dean) ruled it as a tap out."
The
disappointed Dollaway reflected on The Ultimate Fighter 7 Live Finale loss to
Sadollah. "It's kind of a crappy way for it to end for me after
putting in all the hard work, training and everything for this fight,"
said the 24-year-old fighter. "I would have at least liked to have
went a few more rounds. Having it end so quick is just a
disappointment."
