Awwwww they gave Gabe Ruediger another chance to Eat the Cake
Walking the line between intelligence and ignorance since 1985

Gabe Ruediger is gonna have a third shot?
Why?
I don’t want to bring up the dead horse, but the recent UFC M.O. is not this.
Seriously.
He didn’t just lose to Lauzon, he got butt raped. He’s just not UFC caliber, and Paul Taylor is 3-5…
He also took the Lauzon fight on very short notice
and was on a good winning streak over decent competition before that. If you do Joe Silva a favor and step in on short notice to take a fight, you’re almost guaranteed to get another fight with a full training camp, win or lose.
As far as Paul Taylor, many of his losses have been very close split decisions (including his last one against Stout that many thought Taylor won), and when you factor in his many fight-of-the-night bonuses, why wouldn’t the UFC keep him around?

Plus Taylor is British
The UK guys always get a little more leeway.

Blood is just red sweat.

![Strikeforce star, Cung Le, tells Fight Hype he wants to fight in the UFC, and more specifically, on the UFC 139 card in his hometown of San Jose, perhaps against Chris Leben:
PC: What's your current situation as far as your Strikeforce/Showtime deal? Could the UFC sign you to fight right now?
CL: I definitely have a different contract than the other fighters. Right now, it's all up to the UFC. There may be some roadblocks with the Showtime deal and the Showtime side of things, but we will see what happens.
PC: When would you like something to be ironed out and possibly fight again?
CL: Ever since I heard that Cain [Velasquez] was going to be fighting in San Jose. I would love to be on the same card
PC: At one point, there was a poll done and a lot of people wanted to see Cung Le vs. Anderson Silva. Not only is there Anderson now, but a lot of guys have emerged in the 185-pound division as contenders, such as Brian Stann, Mark Munoz, Chris Leben and Chael Sonnen. Would you be interested in any of those names? Are those the type of fights you're looking to make?
CL: You know, on Yahoo! Sports, there is a Cung Le vs. Leben thread if there was a cross promotion. Like I said, if the fans think it is an exciting fight for them to watch, I'm all for it.
UPDATE: Chris Leben is now confirmed to be fighting Mark Munoz at UFC 138, so it looks like Cung Le will have to find another opponent.](http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/205493/CungLe_crop_340x234_small.jpg)
