Gabe Ruediger has one more chance in the UFC:
"I took this fight with 2 weeks to prepare and I truly felt that I would be ready. After some of the shots (Joe Lauzon) landed, I honestly have no idea what happened or what was going on. I know I was armbarred, but I dont know which arm or why I tapped, because my arm feels fine."
"I spoke with Joe Silva from the UFC and he told me I would have at least one more chance and next time I would have the proper time to prepare. For that I am happy, but I still cant believe how bad that fight was for me."

Lauzon says Gabe continued to disrespect him after the fight:
“In the back room, I don’t know if he was getting stapled or stitched or something, they were checking out a cut on his head or something. I was giving an interview and I tried to go over and shake his hand and he kind of shook my hand and didn’t say anything,” Lauzon explained.
“After I did the steroid test for the commission, there was a monitor there and the Marcus (Davis) and Nate (Diaz) fight was on, so I was sitting on the floor in the middle of the aisle, watching the monitors watching the fight. He came over and shook my hand and I’m like ‘no hard feelings’ and he was like ‘I don’t know about that.’ I’m like ‘dude, I made the video; it was a big joke. It was stuff from four or five years ago, I’m sure you’re not so sensitive about it. You gave me a cake at the weigh-ins, we both got each other; ha ha, it’s fun. I’m ready to move on with it and not hold any grudges, and he didn’t say anything, he just walked away.”
Gabe got Rock Bottom’d.
So Gabe, Know your role and shut your mouth you candy ass jabroni!

Why?
Unless they feed him an absolute can he’s going to lose again.
Mo Johnston is what John Schneider could be in 4 years.
They want to encourage guys to take fights on short notice
Because if they know they will be given a second chance even if they lose then they will be more likely to step up when the UFC needs them.
I haven't been impressed at all...
but even a douchebag like this shouldn’t be cut after stepping in at the last moment. Give him a legitimate chance at a win.
