Ruediger puts aside training Paris to face 'Tellys'

Gabe Ruediger lives another day in the UFC. The heel from Season 5 of "The Ultimate Fighter" and a quick loser against Joe Lauzon in his return to the promotion after a  near three-year absence, Ruediger will get another shot on the Octagon against Paul "Tellys" Kelly at UFC 123 in late November, according to MMAWeekly.com.Ruediger was steamrolled by Lauzon in less than two minutes at UFC 118. Oddly enough, he popped up on the gossip website scene with a bizarre video where he was "training" Paris Hilton. One would assume this is a must-win fight for Ruediger (17-6, 0-2 UFC). He took the Lauzon fight on short notice but this time he's got plenty of notice for a full training camp. Kelly (10-3, 4-3 UFC) is in need of a win as well after dropping two of his last three fights.  Ruediger's reputation took a beating from his appearance on TUF 5. He was pictured eating and relaxing before his first fight and then couldn't make weight. He was quite the drama queen and quit before ever making it to the scale. UFC Dana White booted him from the TUF house and dismissed him from the show. The UFC elected not to give Ruediger an official fight after the season was over.  Tip on Hilton video via Fightlinker
