Wow. Jesse got booted from the show after it was over, because he stayed in Vegas an extra night and went berserk. Personally, I think Dana made the right decision to boot him from the finale. I think it's obvious that he has a drinking problem, not just from the incident after the show, but also because of the fact that he had previously gotten wasted the night before his last fight.
What a waste of an opportunity...

Jesse just needs to grow up. Dana is right. He's not ready.

Here's to hoping this is a "moment of clarity" for the guy. I haven't seen any of the show, so I don't know what else to say. Alcoholism is a disease.

Yeah, he says in the video that he doesn't drink anymore, and he's going to AA.

Haven't watched the vid yet, but IIRC Dana basically said to him "get yourself cleaned up and call me in a few months" when they talked on the show. To me, that means the door is still open somewhat...

To me it tells me that Dana doesn't want to be a complete dick on national TV. It will have to be more than a few months, and a fighters career ain't that long.
