Jesse Taylor, to his credit, managed to get his act together - just in time before his MMA career nearly got flushed down the toilet.  Paul Balsom of FiveOuncesOfPain.com interviewed Taylor; some of the subjects discussed included the “incident” on The Ultimate Fighter, A.A., and more.  Below are some excerpts:

Paul Balsom: So how’s training going for you?

Jesse Taylor: Training’s going great. I got Thierry Sokoudjou, Dan Henderson, Fernando Gonzalez, the list goes on an on. I have world-class fighters to train with on a day-to-day basis.

PB: Can you address some of the rumors going around about some unrest among some of the fighters at Team Quest? Is there any truth to that?

JT: Yeah, I’m up at Team Quest now, training there. You’re going to have problems wherever you go, but it’s just normal stuff. Everything is pretty good.

PB: So as far as you go, you’re not going anywhere for a while, right?

JT: No, I’m trying to stay with Team Quest for a while, man. I definitely plan on staying with them for a very long time.
