Gabe Ruediger Tweets

Ruediger was one of three fighters on The Ultimate Fighter 5 who had previously fought inside the UFC's Octagon (the others being Joe Lauzon and Matt Wiman. Only Lauzon, of the three, had a victory in the UFC). In episode 5, Team Pulver selected Corey Hill to fight Ruediger.

The episode showed Ruediger eating ice cream cake after learning of his upcoming fight, shortly before the weigh ins. He was then shown struggling to make the weight requirement by getting a colonic, and finally giving up.

The next day, Dana White dismissed Ruediger from the competition and he was ordered to leave the house, resulting in a tearful emotional breakdown. Ruediger's other antics in TUF5 include getting several enemas to "control his weight", fighting with team mates, and saying loopy off-the-wall comments intended to inspire the team.
