Sherdog.com's Guide to TUF 7

Last week the quarterfinals began with Jesse Taylor (Pictures) hammering his way into the next round, and Amir Sadollah was right behind him after scrapping his way past the infamous Matt Brown.

After seeing Brown lose, Jeremy May (Pictures) thinks he's seen weakness and asks Brown for a rematch at the finale, should they be on the undercard. Brown is only minutes out of the Octagon, and letting May back in his life is the last thing on his mind.

"What a punk," says Taylor after hearing about May's idea. "If that guy is back in the UFC, I'll s--- in my hands and wipe it on my face."

Then: "I take that back."

Taylor goes on to voice his displeasure with May and starts running down a laundry list of May's lesser qualities. May walks into the conversation and gets an earful. Later he confides to Gerald Harris (Pictures) that he has a plan to get Taylor kicked off the show.

May thinks he can get under Taylor's skin. Sure enough, later on in the evening after some courage cocktails have hit their mark, May saunters over and lashes out at Taylor. A debate for the ages ensues, as two alcohol-laced fighters call each other "b----" back and forth until finally May strikes gold with a Jewish slur. Taylor gets incensed and attempts a kick while being held back by the others.

While Taylor fumes, May smiles broadly, happy that he's able to get the reaction he's looking for.

"Jeremy May (Pictures) is an idiot, a freaking idiot," says Mike Dolce (Pictures).

May tries to make up with a lame apology, but Taylor seems undeterred.

Next up is a bout between Tim Credeur and Dan Cramer. Credeur loves to talk about how pretty Cramer is and how it annoys him.

"I think I'm going to bring tears to the eyes of 16-year-old girls nationwide," says Credeur before they meet in the Octagon.

Cramer figures his best chance is standing up, but early in the first round he trips Credeur to his back and takes side control.

Credeur kicks him away and then gets to his feet during a blur of solid punching from Cramer. Again Cramer throws Credeur to his back, this time landing in full mount, only to be quickly reversed. In a scramble, Credeur attacks a leg. Herb Dean (Pictures) cautions Cramer to let go of the fence, and the fighter falls to his back, where Credeur cranks a heel hook that causes Cramer to verbally submit with about two minutes left in the round.

Cramer looks good in the short fight despite defeat. He leaves disappointed but optimistic about his return.

C.B. Dollaway is ready for his fight with Cale Yarbrough after the bad blood that's been boiling.

"I can't wait to smash his face in," says Dollaway after having to endure Yarbrough's annoying stares.

"I feel sorry for Cale," says Quinton Jackson (Pictures). Rampage explains that his game plan for Dollaway in this fight is to "whoop ass."

Yarbrough thinks that Dollaway is overrated and hopes to exploit some weaknesses in his striking.

"I think C.B. is just kind of an arrogant prick," says Forrest Griffin (Pictures), who thinks that Dollaway might be underestimating Yarbrough. "That's my take on him. I could be wrong. I've been wrong before, but I don't think I'm wrong about this one."

Before the fight, Dana White decides to let all of the fighters blow off some steam with go-karts at the track. Cue racing montage and rockabilly music.

What better way to revel in post-go-kart action than to get drunk and vandalize? After Harris and C.B. break the basketball goal, all hell breaks loose and a few of the fighters tear up the "TUF" house. Of course being all cooped up, they have to release somehow. I'm sure people living in overcrowded third-world countries take a few moments now and then to smash someone else's belongings and provisions to cure doldrums.

Fight time and Matt Brown whispers "call me" to the ring girl as she passes by. Dollaway is extremely confident going into this fight with a less experienced opponent. He gives Yarbrough all he can handle on the ground, smothering him with great wrestling and loading up his shots to keep Yarbrough constantly turtled up, trying to defend a never-ending array of blows.

Herb Dean (Pictures) finally calls off the beating, giving Dollaway the last spot in the semifinals. Afterward Griffin voices his displeasure: "There's nothing worse than a guy that talks a lot of s--- and then backs it up. That's the worst to me, and that's what he's doing. So God bless him for that, but I'll hate him for it. God bless him and I'll hate him."

It's time to decide the final pairing of the remaining four contestants. Griffin would love for Taylor to meet Dollaway and let Sadollah and Credeur battle it out. The coach thinks that Taylor has the best chance of beating the man currently considered the favorite.

White announces the matchups and in a surprise, though, Jesse Taylor (Pictures) and Tim Credeur will face off, as will C.B. Dollaway and Amir Sadollah.
